Klingbeil defends itself against criticism of the party base

In an honest examination of the situation of the SPD, the party chairman Lars Klingbeil made it clear at the state party conference of the North Rhine-Westphalian SPD in Duisburg that the recent government start will not lead to the failed Bundestag election AdACTA. With an approval of only 16.4 percent, the party had a depressing election result that must be seen as a low point in the history of social democracy.

Klingbeil emphasized that the processing of the causes of the weak performance was essential in order to restore the party's credibility. In his speech, he made it clear that the criticism from the party base cannot be ignored. Instead, he saw her as an incentive to analyze the mistakes of the past and to draw corresponding consequences in order to regain voter confidence in the future.

The SPD chairman emphasized that the party base played a central role in the political process. Your concerns and suggestions are valuable and must be taken into account as part of the party reform. Klingbeil called for a solidarity and emphasized that the dialogue between the leadership and the basis had to be intensified.

In addition to the content of the content, it is important for Klingbeil that the SPD develops a clear profile. The party -internal debate should be used to work out concrete proposals that address both the social interests of the citizens and the current political challenges. Active and uniform communication could be crucial to regain the trust of the voters.

The coming months will have to show to what extent the approach is fruits and whether the SPD is able to present itself as a strong political force that meets the needs of society. In view of the critical situation, it is essential that the party is determined and at the same time the members involved in this process.
