Berlin (dpa) – The presidency of the SPD Andrea Nahles demands of his party a stronger demarcation against the Greens. "The imitation of the Greens does not help us," she told the "Münchner Merkur" (Saturday).
The same goes for asylum policy, in which the Greens take a simple position. "Our journey is differentiated, but realistic," said the party leader. Nahles pleaded for "realism without resentment". As a "serious mistake", she criticized the Greens' refusal to identify countries of more secure origin.
In the current "German trend" of the ARD, Greens reach 15 percent – the highest value in five years. The SPD is only slightly stronger at 18%. Although the Social Democrats have recently stabilized in the polls. But Nahles said, "I'm not satisfied yet." The 48-year-old man is the party leader next Tuesday for 100 days. Monday and Tuesday, she travels in the electoral campaign in Bavaria.
Nahles received support from both wings of the party. "Andrea Nahles shows a crazy effort," said the boss of Juso Kevin Kühnert the newspapers of the editorial society of New Berlin (Saturday). "She takes a lot of time for personal interviews, calls early in the morning or late in the evening." When the party was renewed, the members also had to participate, some of them went to the ease and waited for renewal from above. "Since Nahles has a motivational task," Kühnert said.
Johannes Kahrs one of the speakers of Conservative Seeheimer Kreis, praised: "She keeps the store together. "I'm not a member of the Nahles fan club, but honestly, she does it very well," said Kahrs, the newspaper's badociation.
Nahles pointed out: "The SPD flies only with two wings." She did not want to go through it. As for Kühnert, she said that he had made Jusos stronger. "It's not always nice for the party leader, but the Jusos are the lifeline of the party." Nahles was once the boss of the junior organization.
Negative since the election of Nahles to preside over the development of the SPD membership. The sharp increase before the GroKo vote in February / March is largely historic. Since the decision to join the new grand coalition, the party has lost 13,853 members, according to a report from the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" (Saturday) – 24,339 people have joined the SPD since the beginning of the year. The decision to join again allowed 463,723 comrades to participate. At the end of June, according to the newspaper, the number of members dropped to 449,870. However, the development also includes deaths.
A party spokesman told the newspaper that the net result has been there since the beginning of the year, but still a positive development with an increase of 6700 members. Thus, the trend of growth continues: Already in 2017, the SPD had an increase of 10,000 members.
Faced with weak polls for the Union and the SPD, party researcher Karsten Grabow sees the old party system upset. "It's time to say goodbye to the clbadic system of the two big parties," said the head of the research group of the CDU-affiliated Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung party, the newspapers of the Funke press group (Saturday). A grand coalition is no longer the lifeline, but still to form a government. There will be many new models of government. In the federal states two new and three coalitions are already experienced.
