From 1991 to 1995 she was a senator for culture and the integration of foreigners in the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen headed by Klaus Wedemeier (SPD) , in which she also headed the environmental protection and urban development department for a few months from February 1995.

Europe

In 2004, 2009 and 2014 she was elected to the federal list for elections to the European Parliament at federal party conferences of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and then belonged to the European Parliament until 2019. From 2004 to 2019 Helga Trüpel was Deputy Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament. From 2004 to 2014, Helga Trüpel was also the budgetary spokesperson for her group. From 2014 to 2019 she was a deputy member of the Budget Committee.

From 2004 to 2014 she was deputy spokeswoman for the German delegation of the Greens in the European Parliament (Europe group GREENS).

She was also a member of the Delegation for relations with the People's Republic of China and an alternate member of the Delegation for relations with the United States of America .

At the end of September 2017, she announced in a letter that she was no longer running because she “did not agree with the majority course of the Greens in the EU Parliament”; she thinks it is "wrong that we in the European Green Group de facto have a policy of open borders".

Controversy

At the state party conference of Bündnis 90 / DieGrünen in Bremen in November 2017, Trüpel expressed himself critical of the exploratory negotiations of the Jamaica coalition and in this context described the CDU politician Jens Spahn as "right-wing, gay Jens Spahn". This statement caused nationwide criticism. Trüpel then temporarily suspended her party membership until the state executive expressed their confidence in her a few days later.

In the debate about the controversial copyright reform of the European Union to Trüpel is a related right one, after initially taking it. In a guest article in the FAZ she accused the “left-progressive camp” of “freedom fundamentalism”, which, in her opinion, would lead to the US Internet giants not having to fairly reward artists and not having to disclose their algorithms, and she combines her commitment arguments for the copyright reform with tax reforms for digital companies. She accused the opponents of the proposed law of having "hijacked a narrative of freedom with fighting terms like 'censorship machine' or 'upload filter'". According to Friedhelm Greis from the IT specialist portal Golem.de , Trüpel would overlook the fact that "even a platform like YouTube could not conclude and finance license agreements for all of their works with all rights holders in the world" and that the rights holders also didn't want "all of their content are available on all platforms ". This can be "technically only somewhat enforced with upload filters." IT legal experts and journalists attested the lack of expertise in the debate.

In the vote on September 12, 2018, 7 out of 13 German MPs from the Greens / EFA parliamentary group voted against the copyright draft they supported. Trüpel has also published a manifesto in support of the copyright reform, which was signed by MEPs from various political groups and artists.
