The upcoming European elections - Kühnert expresses regret over a harsh election outcome.
Kühnert, Secretary General of SPD, regarded his party's performance in the European election as a painful outcome. "This is a tough loss for us," he mentioned on Sunday night to ARD.
Kühnert stated that SPD wouldn't engage in debates about the individual of Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD). The party worked closely with Scholz during the campaign and would have seemed out of place if they didn't highlight him as a significant figure in Europe. It wouldn't be fitting to blame Scholz for this poor result now. "We succeed together, and we fail together." The SPD won't be seeking anyone to take the blame.
Kühnert explained that the SPD requires introspection and honest examination of the result. He pledged to supporters: "We'll return." Kühnert specified one cause of the result to be the situation where SPD, as the most powerful force in the coalition, has to ensure order while demonstrating its brand.

Kühnert's statement came after the SPD's disappointing result in the European elections, held in various European countries, including Germany. The SPD, led by Olaf Scholz, faced stiff competition in Berlin during these elections, as part of the European Union.
Despite the tough outcome, Kühnert reiterated that the SPD would not blame Scholz for the result. Instead, the party would engage in self-reflection and introspection to better understand their mistakes and improve for future elections, such as the ones in Germany's Parliament.
Following the elections, Scholz, as the Federal Chancellor of Germany, maintained a strong stance on several issues, including expelling severe offenders from the country and clarifying his stance on potential Afghan deportations.
ARD, a prominent German broadcaster, covered the European elections and Kühnert's reactions to the SPD's performance. During his interview with ARD, Kühnert emphasized the need for the SPD to regain its position in European politics and beyond, promising that the party would "return."
In the aftermath of the elections, the SPD, as a key member of the European Union, will continue to work closely with Scholz to uphold and promote European values and interests. Kühnert, in particular, has shown his resilience and commitment to the party amidst the challenging election result, expressing optimism for a revival of the SPD in the future.
