Büdinger SPD departure: Who will be the new member of the Bundestag?

Büdingen, Deutschland - The Büdinger SPD is faced with a decisive phase! In the middle of turbulent times and falling popularity, the party is combative and optimistic. At a recent general meeting, Boris Winter, the chairman of the local association, expressed the urgent need to increase the visibility of the SPD. "The party is not perceptible," said Winter. The challenges are enormous: a lack of offspring and an overload of the active members are just a few of the problems that the Social Democrats plague.

But the mood is not only shaped by worries! Manfred Scheid-Varisco, the local hero and the SPD Wetterau nominated candidate for constituency 174, wants to convince the voters with his authentic way. "Politics at eye level" is his motto and he relies in an emotional speech. In comparison, Michael Neuner, the candidate of the SPD Main-Kinzig, shows up as a dynamic speaker who scores with his relaxed manner and clear messages. Both candidates agree: the SPD has to reinvent itself and fight for populist currents.

The competition for voters

The Bundestag election on February 23 will be a fate game for the SPD in the Wetteraukreis. Scheid-Varisco and Neuner have an exciting competition, whereby the Büdinger candidate wants to score with his many years of experience and knowledge for the needs of citizens. "Where the CDU fluctuates and the AfD is rushing, there is the SPD," emphasizes Scheid-Varisco and receives enthusiastic applause. Neuner, on the other hand, relies on the importance of political education in order to counter society and extremism.

The number of members of the Büdinger SPD has dropped to 123, which underlines the urgency of changes. "Something has to change," says Winter to those present. The 2026 local elections are approaching, and the party is determined to advance its topics such as childcare and socially acceptable living space. However, internal disagreements, such as the State Garden Show, show that the SPD also has to master challenges within its ranks. However, one thing is clear: the Büdinger SPD is ready to face the challenges and to look combative into the future!
