BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – According to General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf, the SPD wants to raise its profile in the federal coalition. His party has not yet succeeded in achieving a clear focus, he said in the so-called elephant round on ZDF. “We also have to deviate left and right sometimes.” Klüssendorf also said that the SPD must abandon its “state-supporting reticence.”
Klüssendorf cited, among other things, the issue of affordability as an example. People were groaning about inflation and crisis management. “Of course, those at the top also have to contribute something, and that is also the point we will make,” announced the Secretary General. “We have made our proposal on this, for example on inheritance tax. And I mean this recognizability, this profile.”/jr/DP/zb
