It is not an easy phase for Europe’s green parties. They are slipping in the polls and losing ground in many capital cities. In Germany, too, they are more often conspicuous for their squabbles within the traffic light government than for their progressive green industrial and climate policies. The European elections on June 9, 2024 are therefore not coming at the best time, as there is a risk of heavy losses. The German Greens are currently the largest group within the Greens/EFA group in the EU Parliament, but they are likely to suffer losses.
