Merz do not want to vote for several SPD diverseers as a chancellor
In parts of the SPD, the resentment over the Union is great. Some MEPs from the Social Democrats have announced that Friedrich Merz will refuse to vote in a possible chancellor’s election.
According to a report by the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung” there is currently at least eight MPs in the ranks of the SPD, which CDU boss Friedrich Merz would not vote as a chancellor. This is the result of a query among all 120 members of the new SPD parliamentary group, as the newspaper reported. Accordingly, there are four MPs who have fundamental concerns about Merz.
According to the “FAS”, four other parliamentary group members would not vote for Merz. You would not do so in the future if the relationship would not be better.
Sebastian Roloff, one of the MPs, told the newspaper, he knew other possible deviators: “I know of significantly more than three hands, which would shake the majority-which would be very difficult with a black and red coalition.” He didn’t have to give his voice, Roloff said. “I am only committed to my conscience.”
SPD MP: This is no longer the Merkel CDU
The parliamentarian Annika Klose was similar in the “FAS”. “How should I raise my hand for Friedrich Merz? The political trenches are very deep. That is no longer the Merkel Cdu.” Merz and CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann are “very far right, very conservative, very neoliberal”. Among other things, she mentioned the joint coordination with the AfD on migration policy and the union’s request to state organizations.
MP Jan Dieren justified his rejection with a lack of trust. “If you negotiate a coalition agreement with them, how much is the one a few weeks later worth?” He said in the “Fas”. The exploratory talks between the Union and the SPD had started on Friday and are to be continued next week.
