The Greens are developing their election strategy for East Germany during a congress on Rügen, aiming to connect with local voters ahead of key state elections.

Co-leader Felix Banaszak is touring East Germany in a camper van, engaging with voters through casual events like grilling and inviting locals for ‘Beer with Banaszak and Suse.’

Facing strong competition from parties like AfD and CDU, the Greens are attempting to counter negative perceptions and establish a presence in the region, where recent polls show them at just four percent.
