Green politicians from the East are calling for a more important role for the East German Greens in the Bundestag parliamentary group. "It is not enough to visit the East. They must be given a say in decision-making," reads the letter to the Green members of the Bundestag, which was obtained by the German Press Agency. The "Tagesspiegel" had initially reported. "Change is needed - also in the parliamentary group," it says. Faces are needed that stand for Green Party politics in the East. State elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are due next year.
The letter is signed by the state chairmen of the Greens in Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Thuringia as well as the former Federal Commissioner for the Records of the State Security Service of the
former GDR, Marianne Birthler.
