Kiel (dpa / lno) - The former SPD federal vice-president Ralf Stegner considers a change of government in the state elections in 2022 to be possible despite current polls from his party.

"The balance of the Jamaica coalition is not so outstanding that one would have to be afraid in the election campaign," said Stegner of the German press agency.

The Union is far from being as modern as Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) wanted.

"There is little in common with the Greens, and when it comes to civil rights issues, the FDP is often closer to the FDP than the Union."

In addition to a classic traffic light with the FDP and the Greens, Stegner also considers a new edition of the coalition with the Greens and SSW to be conceivable for 2022.

"We did not lose the 2017 state election because we had a bad government record."

For a change of government, his own party would have to become stronger again.

Stegner himself wants to run for the Bundestag next year.

He has an agreement with SPD country chief Serpil Midyatli that “we will sit down after the national delegates conference in spring and then make a joint proposal to the parliamentary group on when and how the change at the top of the parliamentary group should take place”.

In the state elections, the Schleswig-Holsteiners decided who they trust to lead the state into the future, said Stegner.

«I find the results from Jamaica sobering.

There is little talk in the alliance of a reconciliation of economy and ecology. "

On these points there are conflicts between the CDU and FDP on the one hand and the Greens on the other.

"Differences of opinion are covered up with money."

"There were also a few serious stick defects," said Stegner.

As an example, he cited the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Interior Minister Hans-Joachim Grote (CDU) because Prime Minister Günther felt misled about his communication with a police reporter and a trade unionist.

"A lot is PR and the results are simply too weak," said Stegner.

The day-care center amendment announced as a “reform of the century” leads to additional costs in some municipalities, and there can be no talk of a great relief for parents.

During the energy transition, the country fell behind in terms of wind.

"Many jobs have been destroyed, opportunities have not been used."
