Bayern-SPD: Departure in the middle for the working society!

Bayern-SPD: Departure in the middle for the working society!

In the course of a fundamental upheaval, the Bayern SPD would like to reposition itself, one year after the disappointing election with only 8.4 percent of the vote. For this purpose, 117 delegates in Schweinfurt today meet for a small party congress. This significant step is intended to help to direct the party in a more sustainable direction, but without new elections on the party executive. The background is turbulent developments, including the withdrawal of Florian von Brunn from the party chairmanship last July. Two applications presented should serve to promote the cohesion and a new spirit of optimism within the party base.

A central concern of the Bayern SPD is to address the "real top performers", who are often in shade from the party's point of view. These are people who have to reconcile work and family every day, such as single parents, caring relatives and volunteers. Secretary General Ruth Müller emphasizes that the term "performance" should not be measured according to overtime or financial situation. The SPD consciously distances itself from the standards that are represented by political opponents such as the Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, who is in the possession of a private jet.

strategy for the Bundestag election

Before the delegates, Ronja Endres, the new chairman of the Bayern-SPD, will present her guidance entitled "Respect for Performance". It remains unclear whether she will be running again for the chair at the upcoming election party conference in May 2025. Endres' idea is flanked by the newly appointed General Secretary of the Bundes-SPD, Matthias Miersch, who tunates the Bayern SPD on the Bundestag election. Miersch emphasizes the need for a "hard argument" with political competitors, especially with Markus Söder, whose political points of view are not durable. "This election is about respect for the performance of the broad, working center," continued Miersch, while he denounces the injustices that arise from the privileges of a few people.

Another goal of the Bayern SPD is to intensively search for contact with employees and especially union members. The chairman demands that every SPD member should also be a member of a DGB union and vice versa. This is part of the strategy to stop the negative trend in the elections and to establish the party as the voice of the working population.

Applications for the political realignment and the AfD

Another central application area will deal with the urgent question of a ban on the AfD. These applications will also be at the party congress. The SPD tries to clearly differentiate itself from populist movements and to consolidate its position in the political landscape. With these steps, the Bayern SPD should not only regain lost voters, but also open up new target groups in order to strengthen their credibility and relevance in the Bavarian and federal political arena.

Overall, this realignment shows that the Bayern SPD is determined to react to changes and actively work for a resistant and just society.
