	Alliance '90/The Greens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Those who remained in the Green party were more strongly anti-military and against restrictions on immigration and abortion, while supporting the decriminalization of marijuana use, placing a higher priority on working for the rights of gays and lesbians, and tending to advocate what they described as "anti-authoritarian" concepts of education and child-raising.
		Numerous anti-war party members resigned their party membership when the first deployment of German troops in a military conflict abroad occurred under a Green government, and the party began to experience a long string of defeats in local and regional elections.
		The only party convention in 2003 was planned for November 2003, but about 20% of the local organisations forced the federal party to hold a special party convention in Cottbus early to discuss the party position in regard to the Agenda 2010, a major reform of the German social security systems planned by chancellor Schröder.

	The German Green Party at war
		Every fundamental party standpoint has been cast to the winds, and one reads the present assertions by many leading Green politicians in government that they completely exclude any support for the intervention of ground troops in Kosovo as the anticipation of their imminent agreement to take precisely such a step.
		The same German army, which less than a year ago was to be investigated by parliament at the instigation of the Greens for extreme right-wing activity (amongst a number of incidents, a leading German neo-Nazi officially addressed a cadre academy of the army), is now declared to be an "army of peace".
		The grotesque spectacle of the decline of the Greens represents a profound political watershed.

	S/R 25: German Green Party Leaders Suppress Protests (Henning)
		The leadership of the party that not so long ago emerged from the peace and anti-nuclear movement is seeking to push through the transport of nuclear waste in Castor containers, and in the process coming into conflict with sections of its own membership that want to protest the project.
		Green Environmental Minister Jürgen Trittin gave in to all of the demands of the nuclear industry and signed an agreement that guarantees the existence of the majority of nuclear power plants for the next 30 years.
		In a January 22 resolution the Green Party claims that, in contrast to the transports carried out under the Kohl government, today "the contamination limits shall be maintained with sufficient security during the entire transport." Residents living along the transport routes are not alone in harboring doubts about this claim.

		A co-leader of the Greens, Claudia Roth, told the congress that the goal is to win 8-10 percent of the vote and to continue the coalition government with the Social Democrats.

	An Introduction to the German Green Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

		In terms of the party's popularity, however, this crisis was not as important as the disappointment of the party's pacifist supporters when the coalition government supported intervention in Kosovo in 1999.
		As a result, former party chairpersons Fritz Kuhn and Claudia Roth (who had been elected into parliament that year) were no longer able to continue in their executive function.

		The Green Party appeared too late to qualify for Janda's 1950-1962 ICPP study.
		Although established in 1979, the Green Party did not achieve representation in the Bundestag, and did not therefore receive recognition as a true party, until 1983 when the Greens exceeded the 5% hurdle.
		The Greens took votes from the generally SPD voters, leaving the SPD with little option other than moving toward the Greens to maintain those votes.

	The German Green party, and what is left of them
		The majority of Green party delegates backed this decision at the special party conference in Bielefeld on May 15, 1999, and thereby raised the issue of support for the war to the level of official party politics.
		Advocates of the Greens, or people who doubt the rigour of their turn to the right, plead that there is still a left wing within the party that doesn't agree with this course.
		This is how the Green party emerged as a chemically pure petty-bourgeois party, in respect of its programme as well as its membership—a party which thought it had liberated itself from any social restraints, only to become pliable jesters for the ruling class at a later point.

	S/R 28: Letter to the German Green Party (Manhattan Greens)
		The Green movement is an international movement and consequently all Greens are morally diminished by the sanction you have given to a war that violates elementary principles of international law and universal ethical norms based on respect for the sanctity of human life.
		By supporting the war effort the German Greens have impeded the development of international resistance to the further expansion of the war, and increased the risk of a global conflagration.
		It is still not too late for the German Greens to rescind their support for the war, and to demand instead, as many progressive organizations in the US have done, that terrorist suspects be apprehended and prosecuted by the international community.

	German Greens' Changing Colors
		That vote marked the first time the Green Party had approved sending German soldiers anywhere and seemed to starkly contradict the pacifist convictions on which the party was founded in 1979.
		In the German system, any party gaining over 5 percent of the national vote wins a share of the seats in the federal parliament -- an easier threshold to cross than that of the American system, where each Congressional seat must be won district by district.
		In the process, however, the party has grown more distant from the grassroots movements that spawned it, say critics, as lawyers and marketers have moved into what was a party of students and teachers.

		Liane Schalatek, associate director of Heinrich Boll Foundation in Washington, told NewsMax.com that the group was a "political party foundation” associated with the German Green Party, which rules Germany in collaboration with the Social Democratic Party of Gerhard Schroeder.

		The eight party functionaries who voted against the proposed resolution were expressing their concern that the Greens may not survive their public support for war.
