politics

Younger politicians or partisans with radical ideas that they try to enforce within their political group were also referred to in the past as " Young Turks ", adopting the concept of a political movement in the Ottoman Empire that since 1876 has been illegally advocating liberal reforms and a constitutional one Form of government had worked towards. Most famous in Germany were the Young Turks of the FDP around Walter Scheel , Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Willi Weyer , who wanted to position their party in the political center in the 1960s in order to be able to form a coalition with both the CDU / CSU and the SPD to be.

In the 1990s, the newer fashionable term Junge Wilde was used to describe certain groups of politicians within the political parties in Germany who wanted to distinguish themselves by expressing opinions that deviated from the official line of the party leadership and who were trusted to have a career in party and federal politics.

The term was first coined by some mass media in connection with young CDU politicians who spoke out against personnel and power politics within the party and its then chairman Helmut Kohl (including Ronald Pofalla , Norbert Röttgen , Hermann Gröhe , Stefan Schwarz , Eckart von Klaeden , Peter Altmaier ). The term was later extended by the media to the other parties represented in the German Bundestag, such as the SPD and FDP , and applied to young politicians who propagated an opinion that deviated from the line of the party leadership.

In the years that followed, some of these politicians became prime ministers, ministers, or influential party officials at the state or federal level.
