Saarland’s Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger on the SPD’s election campaign strategy, the traffic light exit and why there is “a great opportunity” in Olaf Scholz’s candidacy for chancellor.
Ms. Rehlinger, get ready for a GroKo with her SPD as a junior partner?
I am preparing for the election campaign with the firm intention that the SPD will become the strongest force again.
The poll numbers for your party and chancellor Olaf Scholz paint a different, dramatic picture. How do you plan to fix this before the election in February?
The issues should now be in the foreground, not the show – that won’t take our country any further. It is now about securing jobs and creating new ones, as well as strengthening our economy. This is what the SPD stands for.
