Green Youth Elects New Leadership โDuo at โคFederal Congress
berlin, Germany – October 11, 2025 – The Green Youth (Grรผne โjugend), the youth association of the German Green Party, concluded its Federalโ Congress today with the election of a new leadership duo: Katharina Stolla and Noah Schรผtze. The pair succeeds Jette nietzard, who stepped downโฃ earlier this year โfollowing internal controversies, and willโข steer the organization โคthrough โa period of internal reflection and ahead ofโ crucial national elections.
The leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the Green Youth,as theโฃ organization grapples withโฃ questions of identity and its role within the broader political landscape. The election of โฃStolla and Schรผtze signals a desire for a fresh start and a renewed focus on core Green โขvalues, particularly as younger voters increasingly express disillusionment with conventional party โขstructures. The outcome of โขthis congress and โtheโ direction set by the new leadership will โbe closelyโฃ watched, as the Green Youth plays a meaningful role in mobilizing young voters and shaping the future of the Green Party’s platform.
According to reports from Zeit Online, the election followed a period of internal debate and self-assessment within the Green Youth. Jette Nietzard’s departure sparked discussions about the organization’s direction and the โขchallenges of navigatingโค political compromises. Nietzard herself stated, “Compromises can be made by others,” reflectingโ a sentiment of frustration with perceived concessions within the Green Party.
The incoming co-chairs, Stolla and Schรผtze, are expected to address these concerns and rebuild trust within โฃthe organization. Theโข Green Youth’s โFederal Congress also addressed the broader “green identity crisis” impactingโค the party’s youth wing, as highlighted in recent Zeit Online coverage. The new leadership faces the task of articulating a clear visionโข for the future and re-engaging a generation of young activists.
