🌿 Big news in Welsh politics! The Greens are throwing their support behind Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth as the First Minister of Wales. After a historic election where Plaid Cymru emerged as the largest party with 43 seats, Rhun ap Iorwerth is set to lead a minority government. 🚴♂️
Anthony Slaughter, leader of the Welsh Greens, praised Rhun ap Iorwerth’s clear mandate and stated, “I think he’ll make a good First Minister.” This backing marks a new era of collaboration in Welsh politics, with both parties eyeing progressive partnerships.
Paul Rock and Anthony Slaughter, the first Greens to ever be elected as Members of the Senedd, are ready to support Plaid. Paul even made a grand entrance to take his oath at the Senedd on his bike! The Greens are celebrating this “historic” election result, seeing themselves as pivotal in shaping the future.
While there are no formal talks of a coalition yet, the door is open for discussions on working together. Anthony Slaughter expressed optimism about building strong alliances with Plaid Cymru, particularly against Reform UK’s challenge.
It’s a dynamic time for Welsh politics as these two parties look to find common ground and push for positive changes. 🌍💬
