Only the SPD candidate for Chancellor, Schulz caused a Hype, and after three lost state elections for disillusionment. With the new election programme of the party from the survey-hole wants to. Still it lurches Richard Fox reported.
In the Willy-Brandt-Haus, the SPD was presented to the choice program. Before that, there was a bomb threat.
After the electoral defeat in the state election in North Rhine-Westphalia, the SPD wanted to turn now to attack. However, the turbo start in the election campaign does not want to succeed in the social Democrats. First, the survey values of the SPD crash-Chancellor candidate Martin Schulz. After three lost state elections in a row, unken, observers, and opponents already, the much-touted Schulz-the Hype is gone. And then also: The idea of the much-anticipated election program of the party, in Berlin on Monday to nail-biter.
In the yaw rate for the program idea
Initially, rumors, the idea would have to in the short term, be moved to circulate. Is limp, the social democratic party after the Election in Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia, approximately divided so that a common electoral programme bursts?, some of the questions. Then the all-clear: is The date that the program will be presented. However, after an alleged finding of a Bomb has to be party Central as a harmless package. All breathe in and concentrate on what actually should be the focus: the content of the SPD election program.
With “a broad notion of justice” to the voters of the points
He was a bearer of hope, now bogeyman, and soon again a driving force? SPD Chancellor candidate Martin Schulz
“Time for justice”, is the title of the programme adopted by the party Board on Monday unanimously. The party intends to present at 71 sites in 13 chapters, how different a SPD-led government of Germany the political Power after the election, would use. “What we present, a clear contrast program to the Union,” said SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann. Chancellor candidate, Martin Schulz, had touted the election programme in the run-up to full-bodied, as “the great litter”.
The social Democrats plan before any investment in education, as well as relief for medium and small income. Instead of large tax cuts, as the Union parties had envisaged to be invested by the SPD in services that help families save money. For example, the contribution of free daycare would be out of place, as well as the introduction of a family allowance, which parents pay rate get benefits if you reduce your family of the work time. SPD Vice-Chairperson Manuela Schwesig was the guiding principle: education should be free of charge, “from the daycare center on education and the undergraduate to master’s examination”.

The goal is to keep the level of pensions in the future, to read. How this is to be achieved, will not run in the paper in more detail. Similar in concept, what should be clarified in the coming weeks. Only so much: “For social stability, we will reduce the growing gap between the Poor and the rich. People with high income and assets to make a reasonable contribution.” What this means, here too, room for interpretation for potential voters. “Lump-sum tax cuts”, and also “top earners” could benefit, to be in with a possible SPD-government, but of the past. So the difference to the Union.

When it comes to safety, the party wants to score, a theme that so far, especially the Union parties, good grades are attributed to. The SPD proposes the creation of 15.000 new jobs for police officers, to meet the increased security needs of the citizens. In addition, the party proposes to invest heavily in the law enforcement.

But this is exactly the NATO goal, the implementation of the American President Donald Trump has called several times recently. “An upgrade spiral, with a armament and defence budget of about 70 billion Euro, that will not be with us,” said Oppermann. Instead, the SPD wants to invest more in development and crisis prevention.
