Omid Nouripour ( Persian امید نوری پور, DMG Omīd-e Nūrī-Pūr [ omiːd nuːriːˈpuːr ]; * June 18, 1975 in Tehran , Iran ) is a German politician ( Bündnis 90/Die Grünen ) who also has Iranian nationality. He has been a member of the German Bundestag since 2006 and was elected chairman of his party together with Ricarda Lang in January 2022 .

Live and act

family and education

Both of Nouripour's parents are aeronautical engineers , the mother is also a biologist and the father is an economist . In August 1988 they left Iran with their children and went to Frankfurt am Main , where they had bought an apartment as tourists in the 1970s. One reason for the move was Omid Nouripour's age of 13, since he would not have been allowed to leave the country at the age of 14 because of the ongoing First Gulf War ; in addition, an uncle had been executed, another injured by poison gas in the war, and his sister had already been arrested once.

He had already started learning German in Iran. In 1996 he graduated from the Bettina School in Frankfurt . He then began studying German philology with minors in political science and law at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz , which he supplemented in 1997 with a second degree in sociology , philosophy and economics . He did not complete both courses after becoming a full-time member of the federal executive board of the Greens in 2002.

Nouripour is Muslim , married and has one son. In addition to Iranian citizenship, he has also had German citizenship since 2002. According to his own statement, he would do without the former, but in the case of Iran this is in fact hardly possible.

Political party

He has been a member of the Greens since 1996. He was initially involved in the Green Youth , of which he was state chairman from 1999 to 2003, and in the migrant initiative ImmiGrün. During this time he was also a member of the state executive of the Greens in Hesse . From 2002 to 2010 he was spokesman for the Federal Working Group on Migrants and Refugees .

At the federal delegates' conference on December 8, 2002, Nouripour was elected together with Katja Husen as an assessor to the federal executive committee of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen. At the end of 2004 he was re-elected in Kiel. He did not stand again on December 2, 2006 and was succeeded by Malte Spitz .

Nouripour was a member of the right-wing extremism commission of the federal board of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen.

MP

On September 1, 2006, he replaced Joschka Fischer , who had left the Bundestag , via the state list of Hesse . There he was initially a member of the Europe Committee and from 2008 to the 2009 federal election a member of the Budget and Defense Committee .

Omid Nouripour (2014)

From 2009 to 2013, Nouripour was security policy spokesman for the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen parliamentary group. He has been the foreign policy spokesman for his parliamentary group since the 2013 federal election. He is also a full member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Joint Committee and a deputy member of the Defense Committee , the Sports Committee and the 1st Committee of Inquiry of the Defense Committee.

In the election for the 20th German Bundestag in 2021, Nouripour succeeded in winning the direct mandate in the Frankfurt am Main II constituency .

political positions

foreign policy

Islamic State

In September 2014, Nouripour spoke out in favor of air strikes against the so-called Islamic State , but rejected arms deliveries to the Kurds.

Ukraine

In 2014, Nouripour described economic sanctions against Russia as sensible and necessary in connection with the Ukraine crisis and advocated the prospect of Ukraine joining the EU . He is chairman of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group. Shortly after the 2021 federal election (before negotiations for a traffic light coalition ) he called on the SPD to revise its Russia policy.

Israel

Until mid-2020, Nouripour served on the advisory board of the German-Palestinian Society, which supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against the State of Israel . In April 2013, Nouripour, together with other members of the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen parliamentary group, submitted a small inquiry to the German Bundestag, which aimed, among other things, at labeling agricultural and industrial goods from Israeli settlements in order to make it clear to consumers whether the Product comes from an Israeli settlement or from a Palestinian producer in the West Bank. In the Bundestag debate in May 2019 on the subject of BDS, Nouripour criticized BDS actions “that no longer have anything to do with criticism of Israeli politics”. The fact that BDS supporters called for a boycott of the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv speaks "volumes about the nature of this movement".

social and economic policy

Regarding the Hartz IV laws, which were once introduced by the Greens, Nouripour said in 2022 that the "intent in itself was not wrong" and that the "dynamization of the low- wage sector " through the introduction of Hartz IV "fundamentally a right idea”. The problem with Hartz IV, however, was the implementation.
