Several parties are currently negotiating a “Fairness Agreement” for the upcoming German federal election campaign. “We’re negotiating it right now, and I hope it will come to a close” said SPD General Secretary Matthias Miersch to the RTL and ntv show “Frühstart” on Tuesday.
As a democrat, one must always maintain a certain level, he said. That’s why he is particularly busy with the other general secretaries to close a “Fairness Agreement.” “There are still some skeptical voices, but it’s important for me that we, as a democratic center, stand together in these turbulent times, in which we can expect many attacks from outside” said the SPD politician.
It’s now about content points like pension concepts. “We need to discuss the issue. It’s about many and different concepts on how this country should be run. One should focus on that” warned Miersch. There is no plan for a code of conduct that would put certain words and phrases on the index. “It’s mainly about how we, for example, deal with the topic of fake news. Just the topic of social media” explained the Member of the Bundestag.
