Petra Köpping leads the Saxon SPD's state list for the state elections on September 1. At the state election conference in Frankenberg on Saturday, 96 percent of delegates voted for the Social Affairs Minister. In her speech, Köpping emphasized the cohesion of the people in Saxony. Even if the mood is currently bad, "it is up to us to give people confidence. Because the situation is better than its reputation." The SPD stands for a policy that does not complain.
The Saxon SPD currently forms the government in the state together with the CDU and the Greens. However, the trio does not currently have a majority in current polls. In the 2019 state election, the Social Democrats received 7.7% of the second votes in Saxony. In polls, they are currently usually polling around seven percent.
