Ralf Stegner Denounces the Scaremongers of the AfD

Posted on by

The following video is a longer version of one posted here two days ago. It was recorded in Saarland on September 5 at the SPD regional conference, which served as a town hall meeting for SPD members.

Ralf Stegner is speaking. He is the leader of the SPD (Social Democrats) in Schleswig-Holstein, and also a candidate for the national leadership of the SPD. The woman sitting next to him is Gesine Schwann of the SPD.

Video transcript:

00:00   So on the one hand, I believe that we have to practice a collegial leadership within the party
00:03   as we did in the past, and allow the debates within the SPD that are needed.
00:07   And secondly, we can’t allow the scaremongers to convince citizens
00:10   to vote for parties that will plunge us into misfortune. This begins, for example,
00:14   with the fact that most people have no problem with their community being Islamised.
00:17   Their real problems are that they may be unable to pay the rent, their pensions aren’t
00:20   enough to survive on, that elder-care services aren’t regulated. They fear losing their job or
00:24   that vocational training positions aren’t available. By finding practical answers on the one hand,
00:27   and on the other hand standing up against the right with poise and all of our strength.
00:31   The SPD needs to present itself self-confidently concerning these important questions
00:35   and showing that we don’t give in on important issues. It’s a question of attitude.
00:38   People should know what we stand for. We need to have more self-confidence in showing that
00:41   we are social democrats. That’s something that should makes us stand out,
00:44   and something that will help us in general, in answer to your question.

  1. Those two are the scaremongers.They scare away voters from their own party and thus are a bonanza for the AfD. Academia geezer(ess) Schwann and arrogant sour-faced Stegner. Undertakers of their own folks.
