Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendit (French pronunciation: [danjɛl maʁk kɔn bɛndit]; German: [ˈdaːniɛl maʁk koːn ˈbɛndɪt]; born 4 April 1945)[1] is a European politician. Born stateless to a German-Polish Ashkenazi Jewish family,[2] 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[3] 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.[4]
Cohn-Bendit's 1970s writings on sexuality between adults and children later proved controversial in 2001 and 2013.[5]
