After the disaster for the German SPD in the European elections, party and faction leader Andrea Nahles wants to make a premature election in the group next week. That announced Nahles yesterday on ZDF. She wanted to create „clarity“.
They suggest that their parliamentary bodies have an early vote in the coming week, according to Nahles. „If I am challenged, then I will open-minded.“ Who would compete, they do not know. As scheduled, board elections took place in September.
Also Schulz in conversation again?
Faction Vice Achim Post and ex-chancellor candidate Martin Schulz was last reputed to warm up for the replacement of Nahles at the top of the group. The internal party opponents of the Grand Coalition, the electoral defeats of the weekend provided new arguments.
Nahles said her goal was to remain both party and faction leader. The SPD needs now no personnel but strategy debates. She did not want to „throw in the clothes“ in this difficult phase, even if she made mistakes herself
