A motion from Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (19/5545) has been submitted on this issue. The meeting, chaired by Dagmar Freitag (SPD), will begin at 2 p.m. in meeting room 4.800 of the Paul Löbe House in Berlin and will last three hours.
The meeting will be webcast on a time-delayed basis at www.bundestag.de and on mobile devices beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018.
The Greens want to promote and shape the development of Esports. .
