The “yes” of SPD is not a given.

Response from Berlin

The formation of a co -operation government in Germany, although it is the parliamentary rule, is always a long and painful process of compromises, often painful for partners. This is what is happening now, with the Social Democrats voting for today and for two weeks in an intra -party referendum on the approval of the government agreement.

To approve the agreement by the 358,000 members of the SPD, not only the majority but also the participation of at least 20% of the members are being lifted, and the results will be announced on April 30. The small conference of the Christian Democrats is expected on April 28, while the swearing -in of the new government and the new Chancellor is set for May 6.

Nothing given for SPD

However, nothing is yet for granted. The strong youth of the Social Democrats, the Jusos, have expressed serious objections to the government agreement and do not give a white check. In dramatic tones was the call of Social Democrats Lars Kleningbale yesterday by Avionero, saying that Germany’s course was judged in the coming years. Defending the agreement with the Christian Union, he said that there were “good compromises”. Lars Klingbail is reportedly taking over the powerful portfolio of the German Finance Minister in the next Mertz government.

The Bild newspaper characterizes the intra -party referendum “decisive for the fate of the government” because if the remaining options fail. These are two: either appealing to new ballot boxes or minority government. Both scenarios at the moment seem devastating to Germany, which must make important decisions at European and international level in the near future, as well as launch existential reforms inside.

In one unit the difference CDU/CSU and AFD

Meanwhile, according to the latest poll on behalf of Sunday Bild, the Christian Union (CDU/CSU), with significant losses, remains first with 25.5%, while second comes the far -right alternative to Germany (AfD) with 24.5% with the difference between them. It should be noted that a week ago, another poll gave a “draw” to the first two parties.

Third are the Social Democrats (SPDs), fourthly 16%, fourth Greens (Grüne) with 11%and in fifth place is 10%.

In recent days, there has been a strong debate in Germany on what to be the parliamentary management of the opposition, namely the alternative to Germany by the next government.

Yen Span, a leading Christian Democratic official and Vice President of the KO. of the Party, he spoke of “normalizing” the relationship with the AFD in the German parliament in organizational matters, just as is the case with any other party, sparking strong reactions to the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Left. As Yen Span recently told Bild, “politics should recognize that many millions of Germans voted for this party.”
