The Impact of the Green Ministers' Decisions in the German Government on the Party's Image

Germany is a democratic country in which the influence of parties on the decisions made in the government is very high. This determines the relevance of the study of the influence of the actions of politicians from the Green Party. Its members occupy key positions in the modern German government and the Greens is the third largest party in the parliament. The aim of the study is to identify the reasons for the rise and further decline in the popularity of the Greens in the Federal Republic of Germany after the Bundestag elections in 2021. The article examines the political trends that contributed to the rise in popularity and analyzes the performance of Green politicians in the current German government. The Union 90/Green party has long been a small party compared to the German “people's parties” – the CDU/CSU Union and the SPD. But recently we have seen a steady increase in the popularity of the Greens at the federal and regional levels. Based on the materials devoted to the political life of modern Germany, as well as statistical data, the authors conclude that the Green Party in modern Germany during the beginning of the twentieth Bundestag was a growing political force, and its politicians had popularity among voters. Nevertheless, the party's narrow focus and the current turbulent political environment have prevented the party from adapting to the modern conditions of public life. The results of recent elections in the eastern German states confirm this trend. The article analyzes the history of popularity growth and the current position of the Union 90/Green Party in modern Germany and the direct role of the party leaders in shaping its success. The authors make a forecast of further development of party-political processes in Germany.
