After the decision of the Berlin SPD leadership for coalition negotiations with the CDU, the SPD youth organization Jusos wants to stop this alliance via the upcoming membership decision.
“What will and must follow now is the largest internal party campaign that the spdberlin has ever seen,” wrote the Jusos on Twitter on Thursday.
“We made our position clear on the SPD board, unfortunately without success.” The Jusos still considered a coalition with the CDU to be a big mistake.
Berlin’s governing mayor Franziska Giffey (SPD) had announced that the SPD members should vote on a coalition agreement negotiated with the CDU.
Giffey announced on Wednesday evening that the SPD, as a smaller partner, wanted to form the next state government together with the Wahlsiger CDU. So far, the Social Democrats have been in government with the Greens and Left.
