Saxony SPD leadership expresses confidence

Party leader sees Germany as a “land of opportunity”

According to Michel, Germany is a “land of opportunity.” “Perhaps we sometimes focus too much on the emptiness of the glass. And too little on the fruits? We have outstanding companies, dedicated employees, high-performing research, and a strong democracy. Above all, however, we have people who are willing to take on responsibility,” the party leader said optimistically.

SPD aims to put Saxony on a reform course

Co-chair Henning Homann elaborated further on the situation in the Free State. “We are putting Saxony on a reform course,” he said to the applause of the 140 delegates. He discussed education policy in detail. Homann emphasized that in the coming years, the issue of canceled classes will be replaced in the political debate by the question: Where in this state do we actually still have schools? He noted that a school is more than just an educational institution; it is a place where people live together in a community.

According to Homann, extended shared learning is not only the answer to many social problems in this state, but also a solution for preserving schools, particularly in rural areas. “That is why we need to take a fresh approach to school policy.” In addition to Michel and Homann, Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider also planned to speak.
