history

Beginnings

On December 16, 1979 at 5:10 p.m., the state association of the North Rhine-Westphalian Greens was founded in Hersel near Bonn. They emerged in North Rhine-Westphalia from the ecology, peace and women's movements. The founding members included Frank Asbeck , Petra Kelly , Gert Bastian , Wilhelm Knabe and the later NRW building minister Michael Vesper .

With the founding of the state party, it was possible to run for the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1980 . However, 3.0% of the votes cast were not enough for entry into the NRW state parliament.

Four years later they received 9.1% of the votes nationwide in the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1984. Around 1,300 mandates in city and local councils, district councils and district assemblies have now been taken up by the Greens. At that time the party had 8,000 members.

1990s and government participation

In 1990 the NRW Greens moved into the Düsseldorf state parliament - with just 5.0%. For the first five years, the 12 MPs of the Greens opposed the SPD's sole government in the country. Five years later they were able to break the absolute SPD majority with 10% of the vote and a parliamentary group twice as large, thus clearing the way for a red-green coalition . Until the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2005, there were two successive red-green coalitions in Düsseldorf. The red-green state government was represented on the green side by the former board members of the first parliamentary group Bärbel Höhn (Minister for the Environment and Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection) and Michael Vesper (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Urban Development and Housing, Culture and Sport). In the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2005 , the party received 6.2% of the vote. In 2000 they had received 7.1%.

Again opposition

Since the loss of the red-green majority in the state elections in 2005, the Green Party and the parliamentary group (11 MPs) have returned to the opposition role. An increase in membership has been observed since 2008.

Renewed participation in government

In the state elections in 2010 , the party with top candidate Sylvia Löhrmann achieved 12.1% of the second vote and won 23 seats. After the formation of a red-green minority government under the SPD leader Hannelore Kraft , Löhrmann was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Schools and Further Education. In addition, Barbara Steffens was sworn in as Minister of Health and Johannes Remmel as Minister of the Environment.

During the reign, the regional association achieved a record membership.

Green parliamentary group NRW

The Green parliamentary group of North Rhine-Westphalia is the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. With 29 seats, it is the strongest Green parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia and the second largest in a state parliament in Germany. In 1990 the Greens entered the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia for the first time with an election result of 5% . Together with the SPD, they formed the first red-green state government in 1995 (1995–2005). The Green parliamentary group has been in government responsibility again since 2010, initially from 2010 to 2012 in the unusual situation of a minority government, which was previously unique in this form in such a large country. In the early state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2012 , the SPD and the Greens won a majority and since then have again formed the government with three Green Ministers. The parliamentary group leader has been Mehrdad Mostofizadeh since 2015 .

history

1990–1995: 11th legislative term

The first Green parliamentary group moved to the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia on May 13, 1990 with twelve members. She achieved 5% in the state elections. As a symbolic gesture, the Green MPs bring plants to the first plenary session. Bärbel Höhn becomes the first group chairman .

1995–2000: 12th electoral term

With 10%, the Greens double their election result in the 12th electoral term. The second Green parliamentary group moves into the state parliament with 24 members. With the SPD, the Green parliamentary group constitutes the government in NRW for the first time. The first coalition agreement is signed on July 6, 1995. Bärbel Höhn becomes Minister for the Environment, Regional Planning and Agriculture. Michael Vesper takes over the Ministry of Building and Housing .

2000–2005: 13th legislative term

In the state elections on May 14, 2000, the Greens achieved 7.1% and moved into the state parliament with 17 members. With Bärbel Höhn as Minister for the Environment and Nature Conservation , Agriculture and Consumer Protection and Michael Vesper as Minister for Urban Development and Housing, Culture and Sport, they continue to have a minister and a minister in the cabinet.

2005–2010: 14th electoral term

In the state elections, the Greens achieve 6.2%. The twelve MPs take their seats on the opposition bench.

2010–2012: 15th electoral term

With an election result of 12.1%, the Greens achieved their best result so far in North Rhine-Westphalia in the 2010 state elections, and they are entering the state parliament with 23 members. The SPD and the Greens form a minority government. With Sylvia Löhrmann as Minister for Schools and Continuing Education, Barbara Steffens as Minister for Health, Emancipation , Care and Old Age, and Johannes Remmel as Minister for Climate Protection , Environment, Agriculture, Nature and Consumer Protection, the Greens have two ministers and one minister in the cabinet. After failed budget discussions, the electoral term ends early on March 14, 2012 with the dissolution of the state parliament.

Since 2012: 16th electoral term

With 11.3% of the vote and 29 members, the Green parliamentary group in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia is the largest Green parliamentary group since it moved in in 1990. The coalition between the SPD and the Greens continues as a majority government. The three Green Ministers continue their activities in the state government: Sylvia Löhrmann as Minister for Schools and Further Education, Barbara Steffens as Minister for Health, Emancipation, Care and Old Age and Johannes Remmel as Minister for Climate Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature and Consumer protection. On November 28, 2012, the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia passed the 2012 Budget Act , which triggered the premature dissolution of the state parliament in the previous electoral term.

organization

Separation of office and mandate

A green principle is the separation of office and mandate . According to this principle, the ministers Sylvia Löhrmann , Barbara Steffens and the minister Johannes Remmel resigned from their mandate as members of the state parliament after the 2012 election . Three new MPs replaced them. An exception was the time of the minority government, when due to the uncertain new situation an agreement was reached that the ministers remain members of the parliamentary group.

Quota for women

The statutes of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen stipulate that at least half of the list places are reserved for women. In the 11th, 12th and 14th legislative periods, the number of female members of the state parliament of the NRW Green Group was exactly 50%, in the 13th and 15th legislatures it was even higher. In the current electoral term, it is just under 50% at 48.28%. This is because, with Sylvia Löhrmann, Barbara Steffens and Johannes Remmel, two women and one man have left the parliamentary group (separation of office and mandate), but two men (even list positions) and one woman (odd list position) in the parliamentary group moved up.

transparency

The Green parliamentary group of North Rhine-Westphalia is the only parliamentary group represented in the state parliament that regularly publishes all ancillary income of its members. In this legislature, too, all members of the Green Group have signed the voluntary commitment to publish their income. The income can be viewed on the homepage of the Green Group and can be downloaded as a PDF.

The parliamentary group

Body: The group meeting

The highest decision-making body of the Green Group is the parliamentary group meeting (FraSi for short). They usually meet weekly in camera. In deliberations, votes and elections, it decides on the policy of the Green parliamentary group. This includes discussion and voting on applications, the establishment of working groups (AK for short) or the distribution of areas of responsibility.

The current board

Mehrdad Mostofizadeh is parliamentary group leader and Sigrid Beer is parliamentary director. The deputy group chairmen are: Verena Schäffer , Josefine Paul , Stefan Engstfeld and Norwich Rüße .

After leaving the Greens, Karsli was accepted by the FDP parliamentary group.
