May, While the election of Friedrich Merz (CDU) as Chancellor for May 6th is scheduled.
Juso's displeasure
The controversial coalition agreement includes tightened entry and deportation policies as well as cuts in the social budget. Rebbin emphasized that the Jusos reject the contract because he exceeds many red lines that have defined them in migration and social policy. They also criticize the lack of effective measures for climate protection in the contract, which indicates increasing dissatisfaction within the party. [Fr.de]
the way forward
In view of the current situation, the Jusos call for a renewal process within the SPD. In the future, they would like to critically accompany the federal government and act as corrective. The pressure on the party leadership, represented by Lars Klingbeil and Saskia Esken, increases because dissatisfaction grows within the base. Rebbin suggested that the position of Esken could be at risk.
