It seems like an event in which there is a conversation between the media people and the owners. At the background there is a big hoarding and the wall beside it.

The Green Party’s federal conference opened in Hanover on Friday with a wide-ranging debate on the current political landscape. Organisers stressed the event’s core theme: balancing bold climate action with fairness for all sections of society. Co-leaders Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak are overseeing the two-day gathering, which will tackle energy policy, foreign affairs, and internal party motions.

The first session began on Friday afternoon, setting the tone for discussions ahead. Delegates examined the party’s stance on pressing issues, with climate protection set to dominate Saturday’s agenda.

The Hanover conference will conclude after addressing climate strategy, international conflicts, and internal party positions. Decisions made over the weekend will shape the Green Party’s direction on environmental policies and foreign relations. The outcomes may also influence wider debates within German politics on balancing ecological goals with social justice.
