Focus on Economy - Greens Aim to Finalize Election Manifesto - Green Party shifts focus to economy ahead of Baden-Württemberg’s 2026 vote
The Green Party in Baden-Württemberg is gathering this weekend to finalise its election manifesto for the state vote on 8 March 2026. The two-day conference in Ludwigsburg begins at 9:00 AM on Saturday, with key figures set to address delegates before Sunday’s final decisions.
Lead candidate Cem Özdemir used his main speech to focus heavily on economic policies. This shift marks a change from the party’s usual priorities, as climate protection, conservation, and transport issues take a back seat in the draft manifesto.
The conference in Ludwigsburg will set the Greens’ direction for the 2026 state election. With economic themes dominating the draft manifesto, the party is adjusting its focus ahead of the vote. Final policy decisions will be confirmed by the end of the weekend.
