Annalena Baerbock – Mitglied im WEF Young Global Leaders Forum

Die deutsche Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock wird im Programm der „Young Global Leaders“ als Teilnehmer (2020-2025) aufgeführt. Das führte zu mehreren Anfragen – nicht nur im Bundestag – sondern auch von Bürgern und Wählern. Auf Abgeordnetenwatch wurden gleich zwei Anfragen gestellt:

Sehr geehrte Frau Baerbock, Wie wird Ihre Mitgliedschaft im „Young global leaders“ des Weltwirtschaftsforums in Ihre Politk als einfließen? Eigentlich wollte ich Sie und die Grünen wählen und bin einigermaßen erstaunt, Sie dort vorzufinden. Ein Forum der Global Player, des Big Business. Was machen Sie als Grüne dort?

Team Annalena Baerbock antwortet wie folgt: vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht. Im Frühjahr 2020 wurde Annalena Baerbock für das Programm Young Global Leaders durch das World Economic Forum (WEF) nominiert. Ziel ist die Vernetzung junger Nachwuchskräfte aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft untereinander. Dies geschieht u.a. in Form von hochrangigen Gesprächsrunden oder auch öffentlichen Veranstaltungen, zu denen die Young Global Leaders als Teilnehmende bzw. Speaker eingeladen werden. Annalena Baerbock hat in ihrer Rolle als Politikerin diese Nominierung angenommen und sieht es als Gelegenheit, andere Perspektiven auf bestimmte Themen mit globalem/internationalen Bezug zu erhalten und sich mit Menschen aus ihrer Generation zu vernetzen. Die Mitgliedschaft ist auf fünf Jahre begrenzt. Derzeit gibt es 700 aktive Mitglieder. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, es wird keine Gegenleistung erwartet. Frau Baerbock ist bislang nicht aktiv gewesen. Aufgrund der Pandemie fanden bislang keine Live-Veranstaltungen statt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hier noch eine weitere Anfrage:

Sehr geehrte Frau Baerbock, was haben Sie bei Ihrer Teilnahme bei den Treffen der Young Global Players gelernt und was konkret davon möchten Sie umsetzen, wenn Sie gewählt werden?

Young Global Players ist ja die Kaderschmiede des World Ecconomic Forums, ein seit 50 Jahren bestehendes Netzwerk der Reichsten und Mächtigsten dieser Welt. Was haben Sie, genauso wie ihr Kollege Cem Özdemir, auf einer solchen Lobbyismus-Veranstaltung zu suchen, bestehend aus Vertretern der Hochfinanz, der Wirtschaft, des Hochadels und leider auch hochrangige Vertreter der Presse? Dass Herr Jens Spahn an solchen Veranstaltungen teilnimmt, wundert einen ja nicht besonders.

Auch auf die zweite Anfrage antwortet das Team Annalena Baerbock mit der Standardantwort: vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht. Im Frühjahr 2020 wurde Annalena Baerbock für das Programm Young Global Leaders durch das World Economic Forum (WEF) nominiert. … Frau Baerbock ist bislang nicht aktiv gewesen. Aufgrund der Pandemie fanden bislang keine Live-Veranstaltungen statt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Eine mehrfach gestellte Anfrage an das Auswärtige Amt – bleibt jedoch auch Monate danach unbeantwortet.

  • Ist Frau Außenministerin Baerbock weiterhin im Younggloballeaders-Programm des World Econimic Forums (WEF)?
  • Nach verschiedenen Informationen nimmt sie an der Klasse 2020-2025 teil. Wenn das so ist, wie wird sichergestellt:
  • dass die Loyalitäten gegenüber der Bundesregierung und nicht dem WEF bestehen?
  • dass vertrauliche Informationen aus ihrer Tätigkeit als Bundesaußenministerin nicht an Kanäle des WEF weitergeleitet werden?

Es gibt allerdings eine allgemeine Antwort der Bundesregierung:

„Anspruch auf Herausgabe der Information, welche Bundestagsabgeordneten im Younggloballeaders-Programm des Weltwirtschaftsforums waren oder sind gibt es nicht“.
