Germany's Social Democrats to re-elect full leadership after labour minister's resignation
The party will choose a new leadership team after Baerbel Bas resigned, and leaders backed Alexander Schweitzer to replace her in the cabinet.
- On Monday, German Finance Minister and Social Democratic Party co-leader Lars Klingbeil announced the party will hold a full federal conference in December or January to re-elect its entire leadership team.
- Germany's labour minister and SPD co-head Baerbel Bas resigned after facing increasing "public attacks" from members of the CDU and CSU conservative bloc, the SPD's coalition partners.
- Klingbeil specified, "We will hold a federal party conference, not a convention," and said "the entire SPD leadership team will stand for election there."
- Emphasizing the need for unity, Klingbeil called for a "culture of mutual respect" in politics, noting that party members are "competitors" requiring "a culture of debate."
- The anticipated vote reflects historical patterns of leadership turnover within the Social Democratic Party as members navigate intra-coalition friction with the CDU and CSU bloc.
