I'm delighted to have been appointed to the Advisory Board of the Dresden Technical Collections! 🙏🏽 The Technical Collections are a unique place where history, innovation, and technology are impressively intertwined. Thanks in no small part to federal funding from the last legislative period, the museum is undergoing a major transformation and renovation. 🏡 I'm excited about the challenges ahead and the opportunity to work with a fantastic team to further strengthen the Technical Collections as a place of inspiration and education for future generations. 🚀 A huge thank you to the Technical Collections team for their trust and the exciting opportunity to contribute in this unique context. #DresdenTechnicalCollections #Innovation #Science

Energy transition and skilled workers – two topics that go hand in hand! 💡 Last week, I had an exciting exchange with the chimney sweep guild together with @mi.kellner. We discussed the key challenges of the energy transition: from modernizing buildings and providing the necessary energy consulting to training skilled workers. It's clear: the energy transition won't succeed without well-trained apprentices and motivated professionals. We are committed to strengthening our efforts in training and continuing education to secure the skilled workers needed for the energy transition. Digitalization and innovation in the industry must also be promoted. 🌍 An important step on the path to a climate-friendly and sustainable heat supply for everyone! #Bundestag #Alliance90TheGreens #chimneysweeps

Thank you for the wonderful New Year's reception hosted by the Dresden Green Party chapter 💚 With a powerful political speech by @heiknopf from the federal executive committee, the recognition of long-standing members with 25 years of party membership, and a clear vision for the 2026 annual plan, it was an evening full of motivation for the coming year and our collaborative work. Volunteering, conviction, and solidarity – that's what defines our Green Party. Thank you for the invitation and the great exchange!

A fantastic start to the new year with the Top 40 Under 40 Network! 🎉 Yesterday, I welcomed around 25 alumni of the @capitalmagazin Top 40 Under 40 Network to the Bundestag. I gave them a tour of the buildings, offered fascinating insights into the inner workings of politics, and shared my own journey into politics. It's always inspiring to meet so many dedicated people from the worlds of business and industry. 🙌🏼 Thank you for your visit, the valuable exchange, and your time! #40under40 #Politics #Network

#Rojava concerns us all. We must not stop reminding the world. Today I spoke with our friends from the DEM party about how we can specifically support Rojava, what will happen after the ceasefire, and the consequences of Erdoğan's support for Al-Jolani for the peace process in Turkey. For me, as a Kurd, one thing is clear: This attack is not only directed against Kurds in Syria. It is an attack on Kurdish identity—and we must stand together against it. Thank you for your important visit and the open exchange. @leyla.imret.73 @av.ebrugunay @g.akbulut_mdb

Better late than never ✌🏽 I definitely had more hair in 2016 and it was less grey 🔙

Statement by the Parliamentary Group "Kurdish Life" in the German Bundestag @bundestag on the current situation in #Rojava #Kobanî & #Syria. ❤️☀️💚 @g.akbulut_mdb @serdar.spd @cansu.oezdemir

Solidarity is not a feeling. Solidarity is political action. Yesterday in Dresden, I spoke about Rojava. About women fighting for freedom. About minorities who need protection. And about why all of this affects us here, too. Those who look away today are allowing hope, equality, and democracy to be extinguished. Now is the time to take a clear stand – for humanitarian aid, for the protection of civilians, for political pressure on the Syrian transitional government. Rojava must not be left alone. ✊ #Rojava #Kurdistan #Solidarity

As the Parliamentary Group for Kurdish Life in Germany in the German Bundestag, we condemn the violence against all people in Iran and the Kurdish regions.
