Stefan Gelbhaar, a Bundestag member of the Green Party, faces sexual harassment allegations but remains determined to run for re-election in Berlin-Pankow. In response, European Parliament member Sergey Lagodinsky, along with party members Yüksel Calis and Paul Eschenhagen, have announced their candidacies for his position. The Green Party leadership has called for Gelbhaar’s withdrawal ahead of the January 8 decision by the local party chapter, amid claims that the allegations are unfounded, according to Gelbhaar’s lawyer.
