From the polls cellar, the SPD sets course for the federal election campaign. Despite the recession and a lot of uncertainty, the Social Democrats want to give hope – and are planning big things to achieve this.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is receiving support from its labor minister with its demand for cooperation from all relevant actors to modernize the country. “The current economic and geopolitical situation requires, above all, an active economic policy,” said Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) to the German Press Agency in Berlin. “The main thing now is to fight for industrial jobs.”

Scholz, SPD Vice President Heil and the entire party leadership will come together this Sunday for a two-day closed meeting in Berlin’s Willy Brandt House. It is primarily about the basic orientation for the upcoming federal election campaign.

Everyone should pull together

In the Bundestag at the beginning of September, Scholz called for a national effort to get the economy back on track and make the country faster, more modern and safer. According to the Chancellor’s ideas, states, municipalities and the opposition, with the exception of the AfD, should take part.

In view of the current weak phase of the economy, Heil said: “A good labor market policy will accompany industrial policy, but cannot replace it. The Chancellor has made it clear that we need an alliance for industry in which companies, unions and politicians pull together. “

As things stand, elections will take place in just under a year

Most recently, the AfD’s electoral successes in the recent state elections in East Germany alarmed many people. In the federal government, the SPD is far behind the CDU/CSU in all surveys and is either on par or just behind the AfD at 16 to 17 percent. As things stand, the federal election is scheduled to take place in just under a year.
