The Greens are more popular than ever and very close to the spirit of the times. This is some dream – even from the Chancellor’s office. With the new basic programme of the party is preparing itself for the future.

Lukas Beckmann is enthusiastic. “This is a new time, a new language, a new mood. A new willingness to open up,” says Beckmann. He speaks from the interim report for a new long-term policy program. An “excellent basis”, policy and society together – and the Green back to the government. And not only that. Beckmann is a founding member of the Green party, the Confederation was a managing Director in the early years of the party. And he says: The Greens have the stuff for the Chancellery.
