NRW-SPD cheers: Good chances of ministerial offices after vote!

Philipp emphasized that the debate was respectful and called on all social democrats to gather behind the democratic decision. She also made it clear that the reasons for the poor result in the Bundestag election (16.4 percent) analyzed and the program had to be checked. Co-chairman Achim Post emphasized that all members, including the critics, are important for the reorganization of the party.

resistance and perspectives

The approval of the SPD members who were over 80 percent sees SPD parliamentary group leader Jochen Ott and other party officials as a commitment to the coalition agreement. However, Philipp criticized NRW Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst, who did not take part in the negotiations. She predicted that the influence of the NRW SPD in the next Bundeskabinett will be larger than that of the CDUDUND. Philipp has not yet been named concrete SPD candidates for the Federal Cabinet, but it made it clear the good preparatory work in the coalition negotiations.

The membership vote of the approximately 360,000 SPD members ended at midnight. However, while the Jusos rejected the coalition agreement, they did not see the risk of endangering the coalition or provoking new elections. They had invested in their volunteering in the weeks before about 15 hours a week to mobilize against the contract. The Jusos's criticisms in particular included migration and social policy, including the total sanctions in the civil allowance and how to deal with migration and escape.

content of the coalition agreement

The coalition agreement of the CDU, CSU and SPD comprises 146 pages and provides numerous changes in tax and social policy. For example, income tax for small and medium -sized incomes is to be reduced in about two years, while the solidarity surcharge for powerful citizens remains. The introduction of a planned minimum wage of 15 euros per hour is also in the contract, as is the increase in BAföG and flat rate for housing costs.

Changes in migration policy are also planned. Among other things, the conditions for the citizens' benefit should be tightened, including the possibility of complete benefits with the rejection of reasonable work. Furthermore, the need to make rejections at the limits of asylum applications is emphasized. The Jusos also criticize that many red lines have been exceeded in migration policy.

CDU boss Friedrich Merz described the new government as strong and capable of action, while CSU boss Markus Söder sees him as a future Chancellor. SPD boss Lars Klingbeil emphasized the need to make important changes, and Saskia Eskin spoke of serious and trusting conversations. However, the consent of the bodies of the three parties is still pending, so that some points remain unclear.

In the coming days, the personnel decisions for the cabinet are to be finalized and presented, while the NRW SPD emphasizes the advantages of its influence within the new government. The current developments and the political agenda of the coalition are still being observed closely.

The current events are part of a moving political process in which old conflicts and new coalition partnerships have to meet. The possibilities and challenges are intensively discussed and evaluated in political space. While the SPD tries to re -position itself, the question remains how the developments in the entire Federal Republic will work.
