The land of Zadar is red again: In the elections of this land, the SPD party has won convincingly. The biggest loser is the CDU, while liberals and environmentalists in all likelihood remained out of parliament.
The Social Democrats’ victories continued even after the federal election. The SPD candidate for prime minister of the state of Zadar Anke Rehlinger, from the SPD party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz won the absolute majority in the elections of the smallest state in Germany. As the CDU party suffered its second defeat in a row – after losing the federal election it has now lost the state where it has ruled for more than 20 years.
The SPD won 43.5 per cent of the vote in the state of Zadar – an increase of almost 14% – in elections held on Sunday. In the state parliament in the city of Saarbrücken, this percentage is enough to have an absolute majority of seats – respectively 29 out of a total of 51 seats in this parliament.
“Consequences”
Apart from the election winner, Rehlinger, there have only been losers in this election. The country’s current prime minister, Tobias Hans, and his CDU party won just 28.5 per cent (19 seats), the CDU’s weakest result in the country. In 2017 the CDU had a majority of more than 40 percent, when at the top of the list was Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
The main CDU candidate announced that there will be “personal consequences” after this poor result. 44-year-old Tobias Hans said his party faced a heavy loss. “I accept responsibility for this loss.”
With the exception of the SPD and the CDU, only the AfD – which has also declined – has entered the parliament of the smallest state in Germany. This right-wing party won 5.7 percent, though it had calculated with a better result. The left-wing party “Die Linke” experienced a real debacle after the departure of its former leader Oscar Lafontaine from this party. The Left has now won only 2.6 percent of the vote, while in previous elections it had a double-digit result.
Slightly more votes than in the previous elections won the FDP, but 4.8 percent of what it won is not enough to enter parliament. While a real drama has been experienced by ecologists. This party won 4.99502 percent of the vote, which means that it lacked only 23 votes to enter parliament. These are the preliminary results and it is possible that there will be changes in the official final result. But looking at the preliminary results, the SPD, CDU and AfD have been introduced in the parliament of this country, while the leftists, ecologists and liberals have been left out.
Comeback
“The state of Zadar has voted red,” said Rehlinger, the former economy minister and current deputy prime minister. Her victory is “the result of hard work in recent years.” She said it would be a great honor to become the country’s prime minister. The 45-year-old has so far been in co-government with the CDU party. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil spoke of a “return” of his party to the state level. The SPD now has eight prime ministers in the state, meaning it governs half of the state in Germany.
The Social Democrats now hope that this wave of election victories will continue. Elections will be held in May in the state of Schleswig-Holstein as well as in the state with the largest population in Germany, North Rhine Westphalia. These lands are currently governed by the CDU. In October, elections will be held in Lower Saxony, which is currently governed by the SPD./DW
