  "account": "As the first guests reached for their jackets at the SPD election party in the Orangerie of the Schwerin Palace on Sunday evening, Minister-President Manuela Schwesig appeared before the cameras at 8:30 PM for an interview. The SPD had failed to emerge as the strongest force despite a late catch-up, trailing just behind the AfD. Schwesig believes the responsibility lies primarily with Berlin, calling for \"more humility from the Chancellor.\" The election was seen as a \"Reform Test Vote.\" \"For the Chancellor and the entire government,\" Schwesig stated, \"this cannot continue.\" While the party performed fairly well in the three late summer elections, many in the SPD view the results as evidence that the party has taken the wrong Reform course at the federal level and now requires corrections.",
  "summary": "Ein Aufstand in der SPD gegen die Parteispitze bleibt aus. Allerdings tobt nach dem Sieg von Reformen-Kritikerin Schwesig nun eine Debatte über den Kurs im Bund.",
