Kiel (dpa / lno) - Schleswig-Holstein's SPD state chairman Serpil Midyatli is relying on a majority beyond the CDU in the upcoming federal and state elections.

"There is only real progress if the CDU is not involved in the government," said Midyatli of the German press agency.

For the state elections in spring 2022, the deputy SPD federal chairwoman hopes that the so-called coastal coalition of the SPD, Greens and SSW will return or that a traffic light coalition will be formed with the Greens and FDP.

The great challenge remains man-made climate change, even if this has receded into the background because of the corona crisis, said Midyatli.

“For Schleswig-Holstein as a country between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, this is a question of existence.

It has been shown time and again that the conservatives are not in a position to make difficult short-term decisions for better long-term politics. "

As an example, Midyatli referred to the delays in expanding wind power in the country.

One reason for this is that Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) promised the wind power opponents in the 2017 election campaign distances to wind turbines that would make it impossible to achieve the climate targets.

With the withdrawal of Chancellor Angela Merkel, "the last CDU top politician with a reasonably ecological profile" will disappear from the federal level, said Midyatli.

A «old gentlemen with extremely conservative views» is fighting for their successor.

Germany and the north needed “new majorities on this side of the CDU”.

In an alliance, your own party must ensure “that the challenges that the climate-neutral restructuring of society brings with it do not come solely to the detriment of those who live from their labor”.
