Hamburg's SPD in tears: Brosda surprisingly chosen from the party executive!

Hamburg's SPD in tears: Brosda surprisingly chosen from the party executive!

At the weekend, the SPD took a decisive step towards personnel and content realignment at its federal party conference in Berlin. In the elections to the party executive, however, there was a bitter disappointment for the Hamburg delegation, because the cultural senator Carsten Brosda was not voted surprisingly. This decision ensured a significant disappointment among the Hamburg delegates, who apparently assessed the support for their candidate differently, such as [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/hamburg/hamburg-gebeht-ge-zum-spd-leer-aus ,brosda-100.html).

Ksenija Bekeris, the deputy state chairman and school senator of Hamburg, expressed that she did not see the defeat as a result of Brosda's skills. In her opinion, there was no broad support from other national associations. Despite these setbacks, Bekeris was optimistic and emphasized that the Hamburg SPD wants to continue to maintain contact with the delegates. This attitude is crucial in order not to get out of sight in political events.

In Hamburg, he is considered an important representative in the committees for public service broadcasting, where he has a significant impact on the Hamburg media dialogue.

outlook on current political developments

While the SPD is fighting to consolidate its position within the party hierarchy, negotiations on a new coalition agreement between the Union and the SPD in Berlin are also in full swing. Seven politicians from Hamburg are active, including Brosda, who heads the working group for culture and media. Other Hamburg representatives from the SPD include interior senator Andy Grote and urban development senator Karen Pein, who deal with central topics such as security and infrastructure, such as [Welt] (https://www.welt.de/regionales/hamburg/article255679082/Sieben-Hamburger-in-daufungsteams-von-un-un-und-spd.html) performed.

The political situation for the SPD in Hamburg remains exciting, especially since it now has the opportunity to decide on coalitions with the Greens or CDU due to the victory in the election of the citizens on March 2. The exploratory talks with both potential partners will continue in the coming week and may be considered the first steps for future government formation.

The coming weeks will show how the Hamburg SPD can assert itself in the federal political landscape and whether Carsten Brosda plays another role in party politics despite these setbacks. A good hand in the negotiations could turn out to be crucial.
