The only apparent concession to modern sensibilities was that half of the men are not wearing neckties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Three-and-a-half years after Angela Merkel, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/02\/world\/europe\/angela-merkel-farewell-germany.html\" title=\"\">only woman to serve as chancellor<\/a>, retired, German national politics seem to be backsliding when it comes to gender parity. The new German Parliament, which met for the first time on Tuesday, has always been more male and less diverse than the population it represents, but the new one will be even more male and \u2014 compared with the society as a whole \u2014 less diverse than the one before it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Only 32 percent of the 630 new lawmakers are women, a drop from 35 percent when the last Parliament was formed in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a country where society has appeared at times reluctant to turn away from traditional gender roles, the number of women in the highest elected body has been stagnating since 2013, when it hit a high of 36 percent. The president of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, pointed to this statistic during a speech at a recent Women\u2019s Day celebration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen our democracy has a problem with women, then our country has a problem with democracy,\u201d Mr. Steinmeier said. He noted that even if every elected woman from all of the country\u2019s parties voted together as a bloc, they would not reach the one-third minority needed to block changes to the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his opening speech to Parliament, Gregor Gysi, the left-wing firebrand and honorary president of the inaugural session, made note of the decrease and pleaded to make Women\u2019s Day a national holiday. \u201cOn this day, we men would always be reminded that we too have a duty to work toward equality for women,\u201d he told lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Germany\u2019s political drift to the right, where parties tend to have fewer female lawmakers, is in part responsible for the erosion of women\u2019s presence in the halls of power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the Parliament, or Bundestag, women make up only 12 percent of the hard-right Alternative for Germany, known as the AfD, while in Mr. Merz\u2019s conservative Christian Democratic Union, they make up 23 percent, and in its Bavarian-only sister party, the Christian Social Union, they make up 25 percent. Among the center-left Social Democrats, 42 percent are women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Only among the smallest parties in Parliament \u2014 the Greens and Die Linke, both on the left \u2014 are female parliamentarians in the majority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/08\/world\/europe\/germany-olaf-scholz-cabinet-women.html\" title=\"\">Chancellor Olaf Scholz formed his cabinet<\/a> in 2021, he vowed that he would name as many women as men to be ministers. That balance stayed in place until Christine Lambrecht, the defense minister, was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/16\/world\/europe\/germany-defense-minister-resigns-christine-lambrecht.html\" title=\"\">forced to resign<\/a> over criticism about Germany\u2019s provision of aid to Ukraine, and was replaced by a man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Merz has cited Ms. Lambrecht as an example to explain why, when he names a new, conservative-led government, he will not be striving for gender parity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWith it, we wouldn\u2019t be doing women any favors either,\u201d he said in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.n-tv.de\/der_tag\/Ein-Mann-von-gestern-Das-sagt-Friedrich-Merz-dazu-article25293641.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">television interview<\/a> late last year. The government is weeks away from being announced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mechthild Heil, who leads a group of women in Mr. Merz\u2019s Christian Democratic Union, is concerned about the subordinate role women play in the party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After taking note of the dearth of women\u2019s voices in coalition talks, she went public with her worries, writing a letter to Mr. Merz and demanding that women hold 50 percent of the leadership roles in Parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI can give you many examples of really competent women who are not being heard, who are not even sitting on the negotiating teams now,\u201d Ms. Heil said. Without women present during negotiations, she said, important issues could be missed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Heil later explained why she had decided to go public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are always being told to stay calm, that they\u2019ll fix these issues \u2014 but we have heard these arguments for years and years and nothing changes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Andrea R\u00f6mmele, a political scientist at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin and a keen watcher of German politics, said that one reason so few women were represented was that the pool of candidates was relatively small. Many women, she said, have to deal with dual pressures of work and raising a family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou can\u2019t underestimate how work-intensive political work is,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another problem, she said, is that many networks within political parties \u2014 especially when it came to the Christian Democratic Union \u2014 formed years ago, when even fewer women were in position of power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is striking when we now notice is how far behind we are all of a sudden,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async
