After the election defeat: SPD general secretary in SPE does not want to talk around it

The provisional SPD general secretary Tim Klüssendorf wants to speak plain text in his new role and sharpen the profile of the Social Democrats. He does not want to talk about things around, “I want to speak plain text and name what is,” said Klüssendorf in the ARD “daily topics”. He had made up for his work.

“I think it’s all about repositioning the SPD in terms of content, also to provide it with a communicative approach that is more attractive,” said the 33-year-old. SPD boss Lars Klingbeil certainly did not choose him as general secretary to make the SPD “cool”.

“The SPD is cool per se, but of course through content. I believe that it is now important to lie down and see how we can actually bring about our own humility, i.e. the acceptance of this really very bad election results, with a new self -confidence.”

Bas’ pension initiation is “memory”

Klüssendorf warned the black and red coalition of public disputes as in the failed traffic light government. It must succeed “at the same time to represent a government policy confidently and that they are not afraid to name compromises, but then actively represent them and form a profile”. “I imagine that we are actually developing a fascinating vision of the future, which you can gather behind,” said Lübeck.

Klüssendorf called the pension initiation of the new Minister of Labor Bärbel BAS a “thinking”. “It was not a suggestion that she will bring a legislative proposal to the Bundestag next week, but that it simply widens and thinks about the horizon.”

Klüssendorf is to be elected at the party congress at the end of June and are already preparing in the Willy-Brandt-Haus after the election of Matthias Miersch as parliamentary group leader.
