Il Tempo: Germania, Ozdemir trionfa nel Baden-Wurttemberg: serve economia forte

Stoccarda, 9 mar. (askanews) - Da figlio di "lavoratori ospiti" (Gastarbeiter) turchi al trionfo come Ministro-Presidente del Baden-Wurttemberg. In Germania, Cem Ozdemir, 61enne candidato di punta dei Verdi e simbolo dell'integrazione turca, erediterà la poltrona da Winfried Kretschmann: dopo 15 anni e a 77 anni, quest'ultimo si è ritirato, mentre i Verdi hanno conquistato una storica vittoria alle elezioni regionali nel Land.
Nato il 21 dicembre 1965 a Bad Urach (distretto di Reutlingen) in Svevia, Ozdemir è cresciuto come figlio unico. I suoi genitori arrivarono in Germania come "Gastarbeiter" all'inizio degli anni '60, dove si conobbero e si innamorarono. Dopo il diploma di scuola secondaria, completò un apprendistato come assistente all'infanzia a Reutlingen nel 1987; inizialmente orientato al mondo del lavoro, optò poi per il titolo di ammissione universitaria in una scuola professionale di N rtingen, seguito da un percorso accademico e un'esperienza come giornalista freelance.
I "Gastarbeiter" erano immigrati - soprattutto italiani, spagnoli, jugoslavi, greci e turchi - reclutati dalla Germania Ovest tra il 1955 e il 1973 per far fronte alla carenza di manodopera durante il boom economico.

Germany, Ozdemir triumphs in Baden-Württemberg: a strong economy is needed.

Stuttgart, March 9 (askanews) – From being the son of Turkish “guest workers” (Gastarbeiter) to triumph as Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg. In Germany, Cem Ozdemir, a 61-year-old leading candidate for the Greens and symbol of Turkish integration, will inherit the seat from Winfried Kretschmann: after 15 years and at 77 years old, the latter retired, while the Greens have won a historic victory in the regional elections in the Land.

Born December 21, 1965, in Bad Urach (Reutlingen district) in Swabia, Ozdemir grew up as a single child. His parents arrived in Germany as “Gastarbeiter” at the beginning of the 1960s, where they met and fell in love. After completing secondary school, he completed an apprenticeship as a childcare assistant in Reutlingen in 1987; initially oriented towards the world of work, he then opted for the admission title to university at a vocational school in N rtingen, followed by an academic path and experience as a freelance journalist.

The “Gastarbeiter” were immigrants – primarily Italians, Spaniards, Yugoslavs, Greeks, and Turks – recruited by West Germany between 1955 and 1973 to address the labor shortage during the economic boom.
