Steinmeier-Nachfolge: SPD nominiert Michel Friedman für die Bundesversammlung

On January, the SPD's Hessian fraction plans to nominate Michel Friedman for the Bundesversammlung, the body tasked with selecting the next Federal President, in the wake of Frank-Walter Steinmeier's term. This decision was made jointly, involving both the party's federal parliamentary faction head, Matthias Miersch, and the 70-year-old Friedman, who supports the party's stance against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hatred.

Friedman, who considers the role to be a great honor for a passionate democrat, praised the party for nominating him, stating that "in a time when a party tramples the Constitution and seeks to destroy it, this election is of utmost importance." Friedman expressed his gratitude to the SPD, the oldest democratic party, for its nomination.
