Chancellor Minister Schmidt is aiming for Bundestag mandate in Eimsbüttel

The new political path of Wolfgang Schmidt in Hamburg

Entry into the Bundestag election

Wolfgang Schmidt (53, SPD), the current Minister of Chancellor and close confidante of Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (66, SPD), has decided to apply for a Bundestag mandate for the first time. This happens at a crucial moment for the SPD, which has lost approval in recent years. Schmidt has a remarkable political experience that he has collected for over two decades.

fought for the Social Democrats in a green environment

Schmidt will compete in the Hamburg-Eimsbüttel constituency, where he would like to succeed the SPD foreign politician Niels Annen (51). Annen recently announced that he is withdrawing from federal politics. However, Schmidt sees this as a challenging task, because Hamburg-Eimsbüttel is considered a traditional backing of the Greens. In the last election, Till Steffen (51) was able to win the direct mandate from the Greens, which illustrates the difficulty of Schmidt's project.

strategic move in turbulent times

The politically ambitious Schmidt has already held talks in the Hamburg SPD to secure a constituency. In times of falling survey values for the SPD and the planned reduction of the Bundestag, Schmidt's step could be seen as an attempt to secure one of the coveted seats in order to strengthen the leadership role of his party. "The trees of the Greens are no longer growing into the sky," notes Schmidt, signaling his will to actively contribute to improving the situation of the SPD.

A new act in the life of the long -term politician

With his nomination by the Eimsbüttel district board, chaired by Milan Pein (50, SPD) on Wednesday evening Schmidt presents himself as the new hope of the Hamburg Social Democrats. Even if Schmidt plans to get heavily involved in the election campaign, he said that he would probably stay in Berlin and that a second home could be created to be flexible.

The politician's long -term way

Schmidt's decision to get involved in a competitive constituency could be seen as an indicator of a new act in the history of the Hamburg SPD. The renowned politician has decided to actively participate in the Bundestag election and could thus enable the party to build on past successes. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether he succeeds in convincing the voters of the Greens and causing a change of trend.
