Hesse: Al-Wazir ready for the top candidacy for the Hessian Greens

Bad Hersfeld (dpa / lhe) - Hesse's Economics Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Al-Wazir (Greens) has declared his willingness to run for the office of Prime Minister. "I want us to position ourselves next year in such a way that we can fight a real three-way battle for the state chancellery," said Al-Wazir on Saturday at the state party conference of the Greens in Bad Hersfeld in front of 314 members. "If the party decides next year to really go this route, then it would be the case that I would not only be willing to do it with my heart, but with both feet in Hesse."

At the state party conference, the Hessian Greens wanted to map out the route up to the state elections in autumn next year. The focus of the meeting was the lead motion "Change needs support. Support needs change". "We have the chance to take Hesse to the next level in the next election," said Al-Wazir. The country must be transferred from the fossil age to the age of renewable energies. The transformation of the economy is necessary without there being any losers in the country. "It makes a difference whether you approach the whole thing from place 1 or place 2." The Hessian Greens currently govern in a coalition with the CDU.
