SPD starts with Neustark basic program for Brandenburg: Your opinion counts!
The SPD has given the starting signal for a new basic program. Under the title "Neustark - Our values. Our path. Our future." the party is starting a comprehensive process to renew its program. This process is how Barnim Current reports, is planned over the next two years and is intended to provide answers to current social, technological and economic changes.
A wide range of stakeholders are involved in this process. Members, local associations, sub-districts, regional associations, social partners and external experts should contribute their voices to develop a new vision for the SPD as a left-wing people's party that re-anchors freedom, justice and solidarity. A 30-member program council, which includes Kurt Fischer, a member of the Barnim state parliament, controls the work on the basic program.
The stages of the process
The policy program process is divided into three clear phases. The activation phase will begin in 2025, in which members and citizens will be actively involved. An intensive work phase will follow in 2026, which will be characterized by citizen forums, topic conferences and digital participation formats. Finally, the new draft will be presented for resolution at the federal party conference in 2027.
Kurt Fischer emphasizes the challenges that Brandenburg faces: a shortage of skilled workers, energy transition and the need to strengthen democracy and cohesion. He invites all citizens to bring their concerns and experiences into the debates about the future direction of the SPD.
A look into the history of the SPD
The roots of the SPD go back to 1863, when Ferdinand Lassalle called on the working class to organize politically in order to achieve universal and direct suffrage. The founding of the General German Workers' Association (ADAV) and later the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP) laid the foundation for workers' political participation. The Basic program The SPD has changed again and again over the years and has always been characterized by programmatic debates.
The most important policy programs, such as the Heidelberg Program of 1925 or the Godesberg Program of 1959, show how flexible and adaptable the party is to meet the changing political landscape. The Federal Agency for Civic Education emphasizes that programmatic renewals are essential for the SPD, especially in times of social upheaval and technical developments.
The SPD has repeatedly set itself the goal of answering questions of social justice and equal opportunities. There is a clear trend: today's social challenges, such as digitalization and climate protection, are the focus. Therefore, the new basic program is not only a necessity, but also an opportunity to redefine the values of the SPD and to position the party well for the coming years.
With this new approach and the clear call for popular participation, the SPD could not only help shape its own future, but also that of many people in Germany. It remains exciting to see how this process will take shape in the coming years.
