German Greens Party National Convention

FREIBURG IM BREISGAU, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 21: Delegated members of the Green Party looks on at the Greens Party national convention on November 21, 2010 in Freiburg, Germany. The German Greens have seen a meteoric rise in their popularity in the last year that brought them to second place in nationwide opinion polls in October as support for the current German government coalition of Christian Democrats (CDU and CSU) and Free Democrats (FDP) wanes. The Greens have also benefited from current political issues, including the government-sanctioned extension of the working life of Germany's nuclear power plants.
