Parties - Black-red community of responsibility instead of a marriage of love

Hesse's SPD leader Nancy Faeser has described the planned black-red coalition in the state as a "community of responsibility" at an SPD party conference with controversial debate. The planned government alliance is not a "marriage of love", said the Federal Minister of the Interior on Saturday in Groß-Umstadt near Darmstadt.

"Not everything is good in this coalition agreement", added Faeser, referring to the draft government program for the years 2024 to 2029, which, for example, formulates goals in refugee policy "that are extremely painful". But for the SPD, not joining the state government would mean being able to do less for migrants themselves. At the same time, there is also a lot of social democratic handwriting in the 184-page draft agreement, for example in social, housing and labor market policy. Faeser therefore asked the more than 300 delegates at the Extraordinary Party Conference for their approval over the course of Saturday.

The state head of the Young Socialists, Lukas Schneider, once again called for the opposite: "The Jusos reject the coalition agreement and cannot agree to it in its current form." There is too little SPD content in the paper and at the same time, for example, too far-reaching tightening on the subject of migration.

In the state elections on October 8, the SPD received 15.1 percent of the vote, less than half that of the CDU (34.6 percent). Alongside the Social Democrats, the Christian Democrats also met on Saturday for a small party conference in Frankfurt to decide on the draft agreement.
