In Brandenburg, the recent state elections have led to significant political shifts, with both the Greens and the Free Voters failing to surpass the five-percent threshold required for representation in the Landtag.

The Greens, who received only 4.1% of the vote, are now focusing on restructuring their party, including a thorough review of their communication and organizational strategies.

They plan to involve their grassroots members in this process and will hold a party congress in November to draw conclusions from their electoral defeat.

Meanwhile, the Free Voters, who also lost their seats, are determined to regain strength from the municipal level and hope for support from the CDU to continue their advocacy for local communities.

Both parties are dealing with the aftermath of their exit, including financial and employment challenges for their staff, with the Greens seeking a financial grant to support their employees during this transition.
