Ex-SPD sizes are demanding radical turn: Get trust for Berlin!

Berlin, Deutschland - In an urgent call, several former top politicians from the SPD in Berlin are calling for a comprehensive realignment of the party. According to a current report by RBB24 , including prominent names such as Jürgen Zöllner and Gisela from the Aue, teamed up to demand the urgent change of course. In their common "wake -up call" they certify the party "structural loss of trust" and criticize that the SPD is too often on the needs of the citizens.

The signatories emphasize that it is time to connect more to the “working center” and push for a network with private investors in housing construction instead of relying on the expropriation of large housing companies. Gisela from the Aue also criticizes that many topics are taboo within the party. Jürgen Zöllner calls for clan crime more openly name and develop solutions. At this point, reference is also made to “implicit dissatisfaction” with the state chairman Nicola Böcker-Giannini and Martin Hikel.

short stagnation on political stage

In terms of the upcoming House of Representatives, speculation is speculated about potential top candidates. Raed Saleh and Franziska Giffey are considered possible candidates, but there are reservations against both. The discussion about the appropriate personnel capacity is made more difficult by the fact that neither Hikel nor Böcker-Giannini show clear ambitions. However, Nicola Böcker-Giannini himself confirms the desire for renewal and refers to ongoing changes within the SPD.

Another dimension of the political debate is the increasing clan crime in Berlin, to which Interior Senator Iris Spranger declared that the police registered a total of 872 crimes of 303 suspects in the clan-milieu in 2022, such as Tagesspiegel reported. These numbers represent a slight increase compared to the previous year and outline a worrying position.

increase in clan crime

Another report by rbbb24 2023 to 1,063 increase, an increase of almost 200 acts compared to 2022. The offenses include bodily harm, theft, and drug offenses. This makes it clear that political pressure to act remains high on this question.

Iris Spranger emphasizes the need to determine clan crime, and plans a draft law on the reversal of evidence, similar to Italy. The SPD politician emphasizes that intensive investigation measures and a close exchange with other countries, such as Sweden, are necessary to improve the situation. The study from 2023 also showed that 633 people are attributed to the clan milieu, which underlines the urgency of stable political solutions.

The ongoing developments in Berlin politics and the pressure to act regarding clan crime seem to be in a critical dialogue that influences both the internal realignment of the SPD and the preventive measures against increasing crime in the city.
