Election turbulence in Hamburg: SPD is fighting for stability in the Senate!
It will be exciting in Hamburg next Sunday, because the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is facing a decisive choice of citizens. Despite a decline of 6.9 % in the last Bundestag election, Mayor Peter Tschentscher seems to be faced with optimistic surveys. According to a recent survey by the ARD, the SPD could come to 32 % in the election, followed by the Greens with 18 % and the CDU with 17 %. Tschentscher, who wants to continue the red-green coalition, warns of an unstable political situation and strives to secure future government coalitions, such as OE24 reported.To mobilize the voters, the SPD started an intensive election campaign. On Wednesday morning, a campaign called "Morgenrütte" will take place at numerous subway and S-Bahn stations, in which Mayor Tschenscher will also be represented. SPD state chief Nils Weiland said that the result of the last election was "catastrophic" and that one should not weigh themselves in false security. The mayor is considered optimistic, but has concerns that the left could gain strength while the Greens are weakened, which could lead to uncertain government formation. "We are prepared for all scenarios," says Tschentscher. He fears that the CDU could become strong enough to form a black and green coalition, which could significantly change the previous balance of power, such as Image reported.
The political climate in Hamburg remains tense. While Tschentscher criticizes the CDU as "hostile to Hamburg" and without future-oriented politics, the CDU top candidate Dennis Thering does not deviate from the allegations of the mayor's nervousness. He thinks that the SPD overreacted due to the poor result of the Bundestag election and should not scare the voters. And so on Sunday not only voices are at stake, but also the stability of the Hamburg coalition, while all the eyes are directed towards the choice.
