Voting events - SPD chairwoman laments unsatisfactory outcome.
Juliane Kleemann and Andreas Schmidt, the leaders of the SPD in Saxony-Anhalt, expressed their displeasure with the party's performance in the European election. They emphasized that the public is urging the SPD to defend social security, bolster the economy, and create a Europe that isn't shifting to the right. The duo acknowledged that their results were below their expectations, and they were disheartened by the situation. Based on initial tallies by ARD and ZDF, the SPD is expected to score between 13.9 and 14% countrywide. In Saxony-Anhalt, it seems likely that they'll only get single-digit results.
