Scholz fights for the return to the top: 85 days until the choice!

In an emotional appeal, Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized in his first speech as a SPD candidate for chancellor that it is now about the whole thing. With the sentence "We have to fight together", he mobilized the party members to unity in order to cope with the continuing challenges in the political landscape. Scholz, who was unanimously nominated by the party executive on Monday, faces a crucial election on February 23, 2024, but said goodbye to the inner -party quarrels. In order to regain the voters, he wants to make the SPD the strongest strength in the Bundestag again, despite a survey that the party sees between 13 and 15 percent, currently 16 to 22 percent behind the Union, as zdf.de reported. In his speech,

Scholz also denounced the “systematic sabotage” of the traffic light coalition by the FDP under Christian Lindner. While he is demanding securing industrial workplaces and a reform of the debt brake, he has to deal with enormous survey losses at the same time. His personal low of minus 1.2 in the sympathy, according to vienna.at is another sign of the urgent problems that burden the government. Scholz also brought his demands for a higher minimum wage and explained that stable pensions and affordable living were only possible with the SPD for him.

The situation continues to come to a head because the approval of the traffic light coalition has fallen into a historical low - only 27 percent of Germans are satisfied with their work. The SPD is currently worse than ever, with a survey value of only 13 percent. Nevertheless, party leader Lars Klingbeil emphasizes that the SPD has learned from the past and is ready to start the start. A ray of hope for Scholz could be a current survey, which gives him increasing support of 22 percent of voters, while Union candidate Friedrich Merz continues to run with 30 percent. The challenge remains great and the time is for the SPD to assert itself before the elections.
