Overview
- Brandenburg's Greens delivered a detailed demand catalog to SPD and CDU negotiators and urged them to "copy and paste" the proposals.
- The paper’s centerpiece calls for moving the Lausitz lignite phase-out to 2030 from the currently agreed 2038.
- Additional priorities include improving early-childhood staffing before full fee waivers, reversing teacher cuts, creating an Azubi ticket, launching a state housing company, passing an agrarian structure law, raising the procurement minimum wage, and backing a Bundesrat review of an AfD-ban procedure.
- To fund measures, the Greens propose a levy on lignite and a review of broad exceptions to groundwater extraction rules, citing severe state budget shortfalls.
- Although out of the Landtag since 2024, the party reports membership growth to about 4,000, focuses on local organizing, and declines to demand immediate new elections even as a Nordkurier poll shows 68% favor them.
