Party conference
Klüssendorf New Secretary General of the SPD
“We are still standing,” says Tim Klüssendorf at the SPD party conference. As Secretary General, he has to organize the reorganization of the party.
The SPD’s new leadership is complete: the Federal Party Congress in Berlin has elected Tim Klüssendorf as general secretary. The 33-year-old received 90.8 percent of the delegate votes in the evening.
Previously, the party left had called the SPD to fight. “We have nothing to talk about. The extent of our defeat is dramatic,” he said. But: “We still stand because social democracy can not only take up, but above all can get up again. (…) And we start here and now with our return.”
Political vertical starters
Klüssendorf is a member of the Bundestag and had already taken on numerous tasks at the party headquarters, the Willy-Brandt-Haus in recent weeks. Among other things, he organized the party congress on which the SPD wants to process the disastrous result of the Bundestag election.
Klüssendorf is a political vertical starter. The 33-year-old from Lübeck moved to the Bundestag for the first time in 2021. There he quickly rose to one of the spokesman for the SPD Links. In 2022, the studied folk and business administrator developed a concept for a one-off asset tax, with which he also made a name for himself at the then party congress. Even now he was once again committed to financial redistribution.
In the Bundestag election this year, Klüssendorf defended his direct mandate in Lübeck as the top candidate of the SPD Schleswig-Holstein.
