Bremen Left takes stock: progress and challenges at the party conference!
Next Saturday, June 21, 2025, the party conference of the Bremen Left will take place, at which the party wants to take stock of the red-green-red coalition. In recent years, the comrades have launched numerous initiatives, but there are also areas where progress has fallen short of expectations. How sat1regional reports, drug help, climate protection and affordable housing will be among the central discussion points at the party conference.
The coalition of the SPD, the Greens and the Left has achieved some goals since its agreement in 2019, but the pandemic posed major challenges, especially in the areas of construction and urban development. Delays meant that many projects could not be implemented within the planned framework, such as this Weser courier shows.
Achieved goals and challenges
- Bau und Stadtentwicklung: Es wurde mit dem Ausbau der Straßenbahnlinie 1 begonnen und das Konzept zur Umgestaltung des Rennbahngeländes in Hemelingen ist erstellt. Dennoch blieb das Ziel von 10.000 neuen Wohnungen bis 2023 hinter den Erwartungen – bis Ende 2022 wurden lediglich 7.056 realisiert.
- Soziales und Jugend: Hier konnte die Ombudsstelle für Kinder und Jugendliche in Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen eingerichtet werden, und das Projekt “Housing First” hat die angestrebte Personenzahl erreicht. Allerdings gibt es noch viele Baustellen, etwa die fehlende Förderung von Ankunftsquartieren.
- Bildung: Digitale Fortschritte an Schulen sind bemerkenswert – Tablets wurden an alle Schüler und Lehrkräfte ausgegeben. Doch die Betreuung unter Dreijähriger bleibt ein ungelöstes Problem.
- Umwelt und Klimaschutz: Ein umfassendes Klimaschutzpaket im Wert von 2,5 Milliarden Euro wurde beschlossen. Dennoch stehen die Koalitionäre vor der Herausforderung, den Kohleausstieg fristgerecht umzusetzen, was durch geopolitische Entwicklungen kompliziert wird.
The upcoming discussions at the Bremen Left party conference will therefore not only address the successes, but also the failures of the previous legislative period. Necessary measures to improve the situation, particularly in the area of affordable housing, are discussed, as is protection against patriarchal violence. This underlines the urgency of giving these issues more space in urban development.
Political climate of the coalition
The red-green-red coalition was slowed down by the challenges of the corona pandemic, which prevented many projects from being implemented quickly. Nevertheless, the alliance managed to gain a deep insight into the city's needs. Some of the new laws on social infrastructure, such as increasing the social quota for new building projects to 30%, are well received and provide positive impetus for the coming years. In order to involve citizens and representatives of civil society in the issues, the Bremen Left will also seek dialogue.
As at the federal level, the parties face challenges that can only be overcome together. Whether it's about responsibility in Europe or national laws, it remains to be seen how the coalition will adapt to new turns in the political landscape, such as from Deutschland.de thematised.
It remains exciting to see how the Bremen Left formulates its balance sheet at the party conference and what prospects this offers for the coalition's next steps. All eyes are on the exact contents of the applications and the associated promises.
