The Green Youth began its national party conference in Leipzig with criticism of the traffic light coalition and a commitment to its own future. After the previous board announced at the end of September that it would not be running again and would leave the party as a whole, the question was asked: "What does the future of the Green Youth look like?" said Sarah Linker from the state board of the Green Youth Hesse in her opening speech. It was clear: "The Green Youth is here to stay."
Timon Dzienus - Federal Chairman of the Green Youth until 2023 - also emphasized: "Right now, especially these days, we need a strong, courageous and loud Green Youth." In his view, there needs to be "an absolute U-turn in the traffic light policy". It is unacceptable "that the AfD's electoral successes are always met with the next tightening of asylum laws." If bridges collapse, people can no longer pay their rent and swimming pools and youth centers are closed, it cannot be that the super-rich get richer and richer. "These are conditions that we as Green Youth can no longer accept and must be changed politically," demanded Dzienus.
