A new President of the Bundestag will be elected on Tuesday.
The election of the deputies causes a stir in advance.
Berlin - Around four weeks after the 2021 * federal election, the 20th German Bundestag will meet for the first time on Tuesday (October 26th, 2021).
The background to this is a requirement of the Basic Law, which states that the elected parliament must meet no later than the 30th day after the election.
The Bundestag session will be chaired by Wolfgang Schäuble, senior president (seated in parliament since 1972) and outgoing Bundestag president.
Schäuble would have liked to remain President of the Bundestag.
However, the occupation of the second largest office in the state is incumbent on the largest parliamentary group, i.e. the SPD *.
Several days ago it became clear who would be Schäuble's successor: Bärbel Bas has already been nominated by the Social Democratic Party.
Your choice is considered safe.

The former integration commissioner of the federal government, Aydan Özoguz, was proposed from the ranks of the SPD. In addition, three familiar faces will again be deputies: Claudia Roth from the Greens *, Petra Pau from the Left * and Wolfgang Kubicki from the FDP *. The AfD * parliamentary group is also sending Michael Kaufmann into the race as a possible deputy for the new President of the Bundestag. The editorial network Germany reports that there should be a broad alliance against the AfD candidate among the parliamentary groups.A spokesman for the left group said: "We do not support fascists."
