Saxony-Anhalt: SPD on the upswing in polls – revolt postponed?
In Saxony-Anhalt, the party seems to make it into the state parliament, and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, things are also looking better. However, the party leadership cannot be certain.
Armin Willingmann, the SPD's top candidate in the Saxony-Anhalt state election, has marked the start of construction on the "Zukunftszentrum Deutsche Einheit und Europäische Transformation" (Future Centre for German Unity and European Transformation) in Halle an der Saale. The centre is expected to become a hub for societal dialogue.
Willingmann, who is also the state's minister for science, energy, climate protection, and the environment, is hoping to boost his party's chances in the election, with the SPD currently polling at 8-9%. The party has struggled in recent months, but a strong campaign and Willingmann's experience as a professor and politician have helped to improve its prospects.
