German parliament reconvenes with a record number of far-right AfD members and fewer women.

The new German parliament convened on Tuesday, featuring a record number of far-right AfD lawmakers and fewer women. The AfD now holds almost one-third of seats, while the Greens have the highest female representation at over 60%. The average age of MPs is 47, with a slight increase in younger representatives. The parliament has reduced its size to 630 seats from 733, addressing past expansion issues. Julia Klöckner is nominated for Bundestag president, with coalition talks between the CDU/CSU and SPD ongoing. Gysi, the longest-serving MP, opened the session amid controversy over his past political ties and Stasi allegations.
