Bundestag parliamentary group
An association of members of parliament from one party or several allied parties in the German Bundestag. A parliamentary group is an important organizational unit for parliamentary work.
Die Bundestagsfraktion der Grünen hat einen Antrag zum Klimaschutz eingebracht.
The Green Party's Bundestag parliamentary group introduced a motion on climate protection.
The word is made up of 'Bundestag' (the German federal parliament) and 'Fraktion' (political group). So it refers specifically to a parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
Die größte Bundestagsfraktion stellt in der Regel den Kanzler.
The largest Bundestag parliamentary group usually provides the chancellor.
This term is specific to Germany's political system. Each party that is represented in the Bundestag with enough members of parliament forms its own Bundestag parliamentary group in order to organize its work.
Die Sitzung der Bundestagsfraktion dauerte bis spät in die Nacht.
The meeting of the Bundestag parliamentary group lasted until late into the night.
A Bundestagsfraktion (Bundestag parliamentary group) acts as a political unit. Typical verbs are therefore 'einen Antrag stellen' (to submit a motion), 'einen Gesetzentwurf beschließen' (to approve a draft law), 'eine Position vertreten' (to represent a position), or 'einen Sprecher wählen' (to elect a spokesperson).
Die Bundestagsfraktion hat einen neuen Gesetzentwurf zur Digitalisierung beschlossen.

'die Partei' and 'die Bundestagsfraktion' both belong to the field of politics, but they do not mean the same thing. A party is a political organization that takes part in elections and has political goals. A Bundestag parliamentary group is the group of members of parliament in the German Bundestag who usually belong to the same party or to allied parties. The words can be confused because parliamentary groups often carry the name of a party. Even so, the party is larger and also exists outside the Bundestag. The Bundestag parliamentary group works specifically in parliament.
Nach der Wahl bespricht die Bundestagsfraktion ihre nächsten Anträge.
After the election, the Bundestag parliamentary group discusses its next motions.
