Why do so many young people in Saxony vote radically? 🤔 This question was the focus of the panel discussion hosted by @saechsische.de and @lvz.de at the @frauenkirchedresden #Dresden. Moderated by Oliver Reinhard, I discussed right-wing land grabs, political alienation, and necessary responses with Annalena Schmidt, who stood in for Mareike Engel and Felix Hitzig at short notice. 📊 The numbers are alarming: – In the U18 election in Saxony, the AfD polled at almost 38% – 154 right-wing extremist incidents in schools last year alone – a new record – 328 right-wing motivated attacks in #Saxony in 2024 – an increase of over 30% We talked about the causes:😟 Uncertainty, crises, fears about the future🧱 Lack of political opportunities and a lack of trust👨‍👩‍👧 Authoritarian influences in the family environment📱 Social media that provides simple answers in quick clips And about solutions:🤝 Strengthening civil society📚 Political education that works📣 Taking people seriously instead of downplaying them🏳️‍🌈 Visibility at Pride parades, sports clubs, and neighborhoods Right-wing youth culture thrives where other opportunities are lacking. Therefore: Take a stand. Create spaces. Stay loud. 👉 Reading tip: Sachsen rechts unten (RAA Sachsen) provides in-depth insights every year. #Saxony #Youth #Right-wing extremism #Democracy #Civil society #Panel #Engagement #Education

⭐️ "I know what it feels like to be visible and yet overlooked. It's precisely this experience that gives me hope, people like Kassem. Hope for a country where everyone finally feels like they belong." 💚 These words from @tupoka.o about me are printed in the current issue of @politikundkommunikation, and they honor and move me deeply. Thank you for your laudatory speech, dear Tupoka! I'm delighted to have been honored as a Rising Star and thus to highlight policies that stand for a different—a diverse, climate-friendly, and sustainable—Germany. ⚽️ In addition to the other awards this evening for Ursula von der Leyen and Joachim Gauck, I was particularly impressed by the visibility of the @hawar.scoringgirls project. Football helped me find my feet in Saxony, and I know its power. The project is doing tremendous work and deserves this stage 👏🏼

The @gruene_sachsen state party conference took place this weekend – with many exciting discussions, motions, and, of course, the elections for the new state executive committee. 💚   A big thank you to the previous state executive committee for their dedicated work over the past few years – the last year, with four election campaigns, was particularly challenging. The executive committee and the entire team at the state office did a fantastic job, whether in the European elections, local elections, the state elections, or the federal elections.   Congratulations to the new state executive committee on their election! 🎉 I wish you all the best for your upcoming tasks. You will be taking on responsibility in turbulent times. And you can rely on us. 🌻✊ 📸: @luiseschmie

It's ALWAYS the same: When people are oppressed, others watch and later say, "I didn't know" or "I was always against it." More than 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza. Those who survived have NOTHING but grief, anger, and hunger. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for WAR CRIMES. Germany must decide: Are we on the side of the strong or the right? Words are no longer enough. Germany must advocate for peace negotiations NOW, stop arms deliveries, and recognize Palestine as a state. Humanitarian aid must be provided IMMEDIATELY. #gaza #palestine @medicointernational

Today, a memorial service is taking place in the Bundestag: 80 years ago, Germany was liberated from National Socialism. We commemorate the end of oppression, persecution, and war in Europe, and the beginning of a free and democratic Germany. Today, it is important to keep and defend this very promise.

May I introduce? Our working group on housing, urban development, construction, and municipalities from @gruenebundestag 💚🙌🏽🌻 #Housing should not be a luxury. Everyone deserves a home that offers security and prospects. The building sector is not only an important factor for social cohesion and the #economy, but also one of the biggest levers for #climate protection: it accounts for around 40% of CO₂ emissions and approximately 50% of waste. A smart building policy is a huge lever for holistic and sustainable transformation! As a working group, we will continue to advocate for a sustainable #building policy and a fair #rent policy in this legislative period. I'm really looking forward to the collaboration 💚🏗️👷‍♂️ @hanna_steinmueller @sylviarietenberg @dzienus @dr.alaa.alhamwi @karo_otte @anjareinalter @juli.schnei

Words no longer count. We must do something. #Gaza
