Economy, Innovation, Attack - Özdemir Heats Up Election Campaign - Green Party’s Özdemir launches fiery 2026 election campaign in Baden-Württemberg
The Green Party in Baden-Württemberg has launched its campaign for the state election on March 8, 2026. Cem Özdemir, the party’s lead candidate, delivered a fiery speech to energise supporters. His campaign centres on economic stability, innovation, and engaging younger voters in politics.
Özdemir kicked off the campaign with a combative tone, calling the election 'the campaign of our lives'. The Greens’ strategy revolves around his high profile, with posters bearing the slogan ‘You know him’ to maximise recognition. Party leaders Lena Schwelling and Pascal Haggenmüller were re-elected for another term, reinforcing internal support.
The Greens are pushing hard to regain ground before the March 2026 vote. Özdemir’s campaign blends economic policy with youth engagement and green technology proposals. The party’s success will depend on whether his visibility and policies can shift public opinion in the final months.
