“We made the decision with a view to the state of the Union and above all on the matter.
Nothing changes in either. "

Like the Greens, the FDP did particularly well in the Bundestag election with young voters.
"The next federal government must finally tackle the issues of the future," said Teutrine of the dpa.

"For us it is about social progress, such as overcoming Hartz IV *, as well as enforcing our youth policy demands."
The SPD's exploratory team currently consists of Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, party leaders Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans, parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich, Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer and Secretary General Lars Klingbeil.
