Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - With issues such as affordable apartments, well-paid jobs but also more climate protection, the SPD wants to become a small coalition partner of the Greens in Baden-Württemberg.

The Social Democrats wanted to be an “engine of innovation”, said the top candidate and party leader Andreas Stoch on Saturday in Stuttgart when the campaign for the state elections was presented on March 14th.

The large-format posters as well as information brochures and more digital election campaign events due to corona focus on Stoch and the slogan “The important thing now”.

The SPD's goal of "joining the government" is repeatedly emphasized on the posters.

According to General Secretary Sascha Binder, the party is calculating for the election campaign at 1.8 to 1.9 million euros.

That is around 600,000 euros less than five years ago.

Particularly in times of pandemics, it is difficult to calculate the percentage of postal voters and when and which campaign steps have to be started.

The SPD was most recently in a SWR survey at 10 percent and thus clearly behind the Greens and CDU.

It has long been clear that the Greens would be the strongest force, said campaign strategist Frank Stauss from the Richel / Stauss agency, which developed the campaign.

The question is not who rules - but who rules with the Greens.

The formula is: "SPD in, CDU out of the government."

The SPD is therefore concentrating on the issues where it is strong and the government has deficits.

This also applies to environmental policy, for example.

Here, as with other points, the CDU is clearly the brake.
