Groen should be taken into therapy, never have i seen a party take some many attempts on it’s own life.
So groen below voting thershold 2024?

Honestly good, she was definitely not the right person to lead the party and since last federal election where Ecolo grew massively, yet Groen (mostly) stagnated, she rubbed me the wrong way by declaring victory for what really was an Ecolo accomplishment.
Why is it so hard for other parties to have green cornerstones in their program? I mean, i’m a pretty green-minded chap but it feels that “if not Groen, then no ecological possibilities”. Why are vld, nva or spa not battling for more trees?
Or is that just a major misconception of my own?
another green dogpile. how refreshingly original.
i guess r/2 is leaking.
She sure added LGTB in politics, but for the rest it was fiasco all over
She got her party into the federal government for the first time since 2003. That’s a job well done.
People are really short on memory or experienced the last 8 years in the political landscape very differently from me.
The last 2 years of Almaci was pretty disappointing, everything from the fallout with Kristof Calvo onwards was just badly handled.
But the 6 years before she was a pretty good leader in my opinion for Groen, you may not agree with Groen’s stances in some things, but that doesn’t make her a bad leader for Groen.
I think she did a really good job the first 6 years with profiling Groen well and getting them in a stronger position, even during times when the right was clearly the growing (and larger) political side in Flanders. By the 2018 & 2019 elections Groen was the leading party on the left, that’s no small feat for a party that was originally founded around a pretty specific set of idea’s and topics.
The green wave was something invented by the media to make something way bigger then it was ever going to be, they got everybody’s expectations so sky high, there was no way Groen & Almaci could ever live up to it as a green party.
Dont blame Almaci for the absurd expectations created by the media, not Groen.
These are gas powered flames so thats environmentally friendly according to groen.
This meme gives a correct image of how i think about the situation in Groen.
Prior to the elections, Groen was expecting to win the elections big time, due to the focus on climate and the climate marches. Calvo was clumsy (cfr company cars), but still, climate was THE topic.
But it turned out to be another black sunday and Groen didn’t really win a lot of seats. So Groen entered Vivaldi after the longest coalition formation ever in a coalition where all parties had to work together as TINA and any failure would strengthen the extreme parties. Groen had two big prizes: N-VA wasn’t the govt (especially ecolo is extremely allergic to N-VA) and the nuclear exit.
Turns out GLB is more than capable to replace the N-VA as an anti-Groen antagonist and geo-politics prevented the nuclear exit and Tinne doesn’t perform well in front of the camera. No wonder Almaci calls it time to quit.
