Düsseldorfer's Fourth Member, Lisa Schubert, Migrates into the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag)
Young Non-Binary Member Makes History in German Bundestag
Lisa Schubert, a 22-year-old social sciences student at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, has made history by becoming the youngest and first openly non-binary member of the German Bundestag. Schubert, who represents the party Die Linke, took over the parliamentary seat previously held by Uwe Foullong.
Schubert's election marks a significant step for transgender and non-binary representation in German politics. As a member of Die Linke, Schubert's political views likely emphasize social justice, progressive policies, and inclusivity. However, specific details on their exact political agenda or plans following their assumption of Foullong’s seat are not detailed in the search results.
Uwe Foullong, a 67-year-old member of the Düsseldorf alliance "just.social.ecological," resigned from his Bundestag seat due to health reasons. Schubert will take Foullong's place in the Bundestag as she is next in line as a substitute on the NRW state list of The Left.
The proportion of women in The Left in the Bundestag is currently at 56.2%. Schubert's election increases this number, further promoting gender diversity in the party.
In the same election, Thomas Jazombek, Johannes Winkel (both CDU), and Sara Nanni (Greens) were elected as Members of Parliament in Berlin on February 23.
Schubert achieved almost 10% of the first votes in the Bundestag election, demonstrating strong support from the electorate. They expressed their gratitude towards Foullong and wished him a speedy recovery.
Looking forward to the opportunities that the Bundestag seat offers, Schubert has stated that they aim to fight for an alternative to the current chronic crisis and be a voice for those not heard or deliberately silenced.
