Ahead of the snap federal elections in Germany this Sunday, the Green Party held a rally in Hamburg. Two-week polling averages show that 13% of voters intend to vote for the historically ecologist party.

In recent years, the Greens have taken a more centrist line on economic policies and an interventionist line in foreign affairs. The dominance of immigration and inflation in public debate, and setbacks for the greens’ party leadership have contributed to the party’s diminishing popularity since it reached record highs of support leading up to the last federal election in 2021.
