Dietmar Woidke must defeat the AfD to remain Prime Minister of Brandenburg. Why the traffic light coalition bothers him and to what extent fairness plays a role.
Mr. Woidke, are you tired of office?
No, not at all! I’m fitter than I have been for many years, I’ve stopped smoking, I’m doing a lot of sport and I’m full of energy. But I have an idea what your question is about…
… to your clear statement: If I don’t win the state election with the SPD Brandenburg, then I’m leaving.
That’s right. But I didn’t say that because I’m tired of office, but because I’m determined to fight and win. This election is also a vote on me and what I’ve done for this country. Polls clearly show that a majority would vote for me directly as prime minister and would say I’m doing a good job.
