Following the resignation of Ska Keller, a „generational change“ is to take place today at the head of the Green Party in the European Parliament. Yet the two candidates in question are of one generation, and a comparatively young one at that: The 40-year-old Keller from Brandenburg steps down, and the 35-year-old Terry (Teresa) Reintke from the Ruhr area steps in. She is the only candidate to run in the election in the parliamentary group, with 72 members.
