Upcoming Legislative Assembly Elections - The unwavering intensity of critique towards Green matters is beyond debate by Nonnemaker.
Brandenburg's departing Health Minister, Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens), believes the criticism toward her party often gets overblown. "The level of criticism is completely unacceptable," the minister told the "Märkische Allgemeine" newspaper. Criticism is warranted, as mistakes have been made.
The Greens face a challenge not just in Brandenburg, but elsewhere, that they tend to be overly intellectual, stubborn, and too complex in many ways, Nonnemacher explained. They struggle to connect emotionally. "The Greens always run a logical agenda, which makes communication particularly challenging for them," she stated.
Beyond the Green bashing, Nonnemacher is concerned about the current dialogue. In the past, it was frequently clear what the protest was about. "Today, it's merely a cacophony of aggressive chatter," she said. "How can you respond politically to that? We're just dealing with one populist demand after another, some of which are entirely arbitrary or questionable under the law." That's quite dispiriting.
Nonnemacher won't be contesting the upcoming state election in Brandenburg in a few days. The 67-year-old has decided to step down from politics.
Despite her departure, the criticism towards the Greens in the upcoming Brandenburg's state election at The Potsdam will likely continue. Furthermore, the complexity and intellectualism of the Greens' agenda at The Potsdam may continue to pose challenges in connecting emotionally with voters.
