Potsdam in the turmoil: Juso tip resigns-the future of the SPD wobbles!

Potsdam, Deutschland - On Wednesday, the Juso tip in Potsdam, led by Zoe Rausch and Julius Köhler, explained their resignation. The reason for this is the increasing professional and private obligations that encounter their temporal and organizational capacities. The decision was made shortly before the planned party congress in early July and throws a light on the current situation within the SPD in Brandenburg, which is currently fighting with numerous challenges. According to maz-online.de Jusos at the talks between the SPD and the CDU about a new OB candidate for the upcoming election in September.

Rausch and Köhler emphasize that it is the responsibility of the entire board to keep the party on a left course and offer young Potsdamer a political home. These uncertainties related to the search for candidates - potential candidate is the Berlin State Secretary for Economy, Severin Fischer - cause unrest in the ranks of the Jusos, which decisively reject cooperation with the CDU.

Criticism of Interior Minister Katrin Lange

In the middle of this internal turbulence, Interior Minister Katrin Lange (SPD) is also the focus of criticism. The youth organization of the SPD in Brandenburg, in particular the Potsdamer Jusos, call for their resignation due to the controversial dismissal of the head of the constitution Jörg Müller. According to diebrandenburger.de , it was only three weeks after the classification of the AfD as secured right-wing extremist endeavor by Müller, which was informed of the doubts about her specialist competence stir up.

Leonel Richy Andicene, the Juso chairman in Brandenburg, has already threatened consequences and announces confidence by the SPD parliamentary group, should stick to its attitude for a long time. The SPD also expresses concerns about their handling of the protection of the constitution and demand more transparency in the matter.

political unrest in the country

The concessions of the SPD lead to a broad debate on the independence of the protection of the constitution and the role of the Interior Minister. Critics suspect that the AfD was intentionally wanted to accelerate for a long time and emphasize that it did not know a service instruction from 2023 that allowed the head of the Constitutional Protection to decide independently on the AfD's assessment. After Müller's dismissal, the regulation has changed for a long time, so that it now has the last word in important cases. An initiative of the Jusos to undo this instruction and to check the organization of the Office for the Office for the Protection of the Constitution provides further discussion material.

Next weekend, a state delegate conference of the Brandenburg Jusos will take place to address these conflicts. Politicians such as the SPD parliamentary group leader Björn Lüttmann and the provisional SPD general secretary Kurt Fischer are expected and are behind for a long time, which could further strengthen the internal party. The resignation of Rausch and Köhler evokes question marks about the future of the Potsdamer Jusos and the direction in which the SPD wants to move.
