Parties – Freiburg im Breisgau – SPD wants to drive Kretschmann’s coalition – politics

Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – The south-west SPD wants to drive the green-black state government in front of it with a tailwind from Berlin. The Green Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann will already notice that after the state elections he has bet on the “wrong steamship” with the new edition of the green-black alliance, said regional chief Andreas Stoch in front of 500 members on Saturday in Freiburg.

The planned traffic light coalition in the federal government under the leadership of Olaf Scholz will advance the modernization of the country “as a progress alliance”. Even if Kretschmann’s heart beats for the CDU, it is just the case that the Greens will in future co-rule in a traffic light in the federal government. “It will be more and more difficult for the Kretschmann government to stubbornly ignore the impulses.” The Union is a “political obsolete model”.

In Baden-Württemberg there is no progress with green-black, a traffic light would have been the better alternative. “There is no trace of a restart,” complained Stoch. He cannot get rid of the suspicion that the CDU has signed the coalition agreement because it knows: “The Greens are great at formulating goals, but extremely weak in achieving them.” The SPD politician pointed out to the CDU: “At the same time, the Union has the world champions in braking at the start.” Green-black is certainly not a “blueprint” for the federal government, as Kretschmann put it. “Baden-Wuerttemberg is not a blueprint for the federal government, it is in the barn.” There is no progress in education or in the energy transition. The pressure from Berlin will increase in both areas.

Stoch admitted that the SPD could not be satisfied with the eleven percent in the state elections in March. But it shows: “If we have a tailwind from Berlin, then it will be easier for us in the country too.” Since the federal election, the state SPD has “not only had a mild breeze in its back”. In surveys, the social democrats in the country are ahead of the CDU or on a par and almost on a par with the Greens. “We have a chance in Baden-Württemberg.” However, you will have to work hard until the state election in 2026. Stefan Fulst-Blei, member of the state parliament from Mannheim, said: “Those who have been told red live longer.” The SPD has the chance of “a jolt”, but only if you no longer argue in public.

Stoch and the SPD chairwoman Saskia Esken also emphasized that the success in the federal election was also a result of the party’s unity. Esken demanded that the party avoid “old mistakes”. At the CDU you can watch “how you lose yourself”. She called on the comrades not to be irritated by the criticism of the exploratory paper by the SPD, Greens and FDP in the federal government. “Anyone who says that this is a yellow exploratory paper should take a look at what has been clearly agreed upon.” She promised: “The SPD will be a lobby for those who otherwise have no lobby.” Her party wants to stand up especially for children. “We’ll show a certain intransigence there, too.”

The traffic light coalition will come about. “Nikolaus is Groko-Aus, that is getting a whole new meaning now,” said Esken, referring to the Juso motto from two years ago. In the federal elections, the Southwest SPD achieved a significantly better result than in the state elections, thanks in part to the popular candidate for Chancellor Olaf Scholz. It landed with 21.6 percent behind the weakened CDU (24.8 percent) in second place. The Greens came to 17.2 percent.
