Before the first meeting: political groups draw up candidates for Bureau

The management of the meetings in the Bundestag takes over its presidium, which consists of the President of the Bundestag and its vice-presidents. All the political groups have now agreed on who should be eligible for this.

As the largest opposition party, the right-wing party intends to appoint a Bundestag vice-president and several committee chairmen in the future.

So far, the AfD has failed 26 times with the attempt to appoint a vice-president. This time, the party will be the second largest parliamentary group in the Bundestag, does that change the prospects?

Julia Klöckner is supposed to be the President of the Bundestag. Her election is actually only a formal matter, but now trouble threatens. Because the 52-year-old has announced to introduce herself to all parties, including the AfD. The Greens react with criticism – and an ultimatum.

For almost eight years, the AfD's majority in the Bundestag has refused a place in the parliamentary bureau – because it considered all applicants to be unsuitable. The right-wing party will also fight for more power in the 21st Bundestag.

This Tuesday, Julia Klöckner will become the new President of the Bundestag. Some opposition politicians voice doubts about her suitability.
