Green Youth concludes federal congress in Leipzig with new chairpersons

The Federal Congress of the Green Youth in Leipzig comes to an end this Sunday with debates on the content of the young organization. Among other things, the party youth want to agree on tasks for the coming year. The agenda also includes debates on various motions put forward by members. For example, they call for a redefinition of the relationship with the Greens.

On Saturday, the members elected Jette Nietzard and Jakob Blasel as their new chairpersons. Nietzard is active in the Berlin Green Party, is committed to helping refugees and works for the German Children's Fund. Blasel is studying law and environmental sciences in Lüneburg and is one of the better-known faces of the Fridays for Future climate movement.

At the end of September, the then ten-member executive board unanimously announced that it would not be running again, would leave the party and wanted to found a new left-wing youth association.
