Pinneberg (dpa -AfX) – Is the series broken in Pinneberg this year or holds it? The party, who wins the Schleswig-Holstein constituency in the federal elections, has also provided the Federal Chancellor for decades. Ralf Stegner will go into the race for the SPD on Sunday, who was already ahead in 2021. Daniel Kölbl competes for the CDU, who is moving into federal politics.
“If you know that the Chancellor comes from the SPD, if you win here, then you have to work out,” said Stegner of the German Press Agency. There is currently a lot of headwind. By the Bundestag election on February 23, however, it would be a few more days and many voters are still undecided. He emphasized: “The situation seems as difficult, but Friedrich Merz is not exactly a mood cannon either.”
The mixture does it
The fact that the Pinneberg constituency is often representative of all of Germany as a chancellor oracle is due to the relationship of people on site. “I believe that it is the mix of the somewhat more progressive Hamburgers and the somewhat more conservative Schleswig-Holsteiners,” said Stegner.
The CDU candidate Kölbl also has a similar explanation ready: “With a mixture of city and country, young and old, smaller and higher incomes, the Pinneberg district feels very good overall the situation in the Federal Republic,” he said. In the Bundestag election, the 31-year-old wants to make his contribution to a CDU Chancellor-and does not believe in a “outlier result” ./ XIL/DP/MIS
