New hope: Miersch takes over as SPD general secretary!

The SPD is about to change a cast in the General Secretariat! The parliamentary group Vice Matthias Miersch will take on the role of Secretary General in order to give the tumbling chancellor party fresh wind and stability after Kevin Kühnert has resigned for health reasons. Miersch, an experienced strategist and a member of the German Bundestag since 2005, will take up his provisional role until the next party congress in the coming year. It should not only lead the party headquarters, but also to prepare and implement the most important election campaign, while the SPD remains in the surveys with only 16 percent behind the Union.

Kühnert, who no longer run for the Bundestag due to health problems and lack of energy in the coming year, enjoys recognition across party. Political opponents praise his honesty and respectful cooperation. Miersch has already received backing from the party leadership and is optimistic to master the upcoming challenges. SPD boss Lars Klingbeil and other party colleagues are confident that the new occupation will bring positive impulses for the social democratic agenda.
