German Green Youth re-elects leaders; both attack Chancellor Merz

The Green Youth (Grüne Jugend) re-elected Henriette Held and Luis Bobga as co-chairs at their federal congress in Leipzig, though with weaker support than before. Both used their speeches to launch harsh attacks on Chancellor Merz, calling him a 'fucking Chancellor' — a notable escalation in rhetoric from a youth wing of a governing coalition partner. The weaker re-election result suggests internal dissent within the Green Youth, while the attacks signal growing friction between the party's base and the current government leadership.
