Post-Election Woes: "A Rough Beginning" - SPD's Alexander Schweitzer
Schweitzer criticizes the initial efforts - "Schweitzer expresses dissatisfaction: 'This doesn't bode well'"
In the wake of Friedrich Merz's unsuccessful bid for Chancellorship, Rhineland-Palatinate's Min-Pres Alexander Schweitzer, a member of the SPD, voices discontent, deeming it a "rough beginning." The SPD, he stresses, stands firm. Both the SPD and the CDU have agreed on a solid coalition agreement, and support for the new administration is clear-cut. The SPD's parliamentary group had signaled this shift, and citizens expect nothing less. "The minister-presidents eagerly await the government's commencement. The tasks at hand are immense."
