Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendit (French: [danjɛl maʁk kɔn bɛndit], German: [ˈdaːni̯eːl ˈmaʁk koːn ˈbɛndɪt, -ni̯ɛl -]; born 4 April 1945) is a French-German politician. Born stateless to a German-Polish Ashkenazi Jewish family,[1] Daniel Cohn-Bendit obtained German citizenship in 1959 and French citizenship in 2015.
Cohn-Bendit was a student leader during the unrest of May 1968 in France[2] and was also known during that time as Dany le Rouge (French for "Danny the Red", because of both his politics and the colour of his hair). He was co-president of the group European Greens–European Free Alliance in the European Parliament. He co-chairs the Spinelli Group, a European Parliament inter-group aiming at relaunching the federalist project in Europe. He was a recipient of the European Parliament's European Initiative Prize in 2016.[3]
Cohn-Bendit's 1970s writings on sexuality between adults and children later proved controversial in 2001 and 2013.[4] The same can be said of his statements to Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) that same year,[5] and his statements on the French TV show Apostrophes in 1982[6]
