«Für 10 Euro bleibst du zwei Monate Mitglied,
stimmst gegen die Große Koalition und gehst dann wieder raus»
Le ultime prospezioni dell’Insa darebbero la Union (Cdu e Csu) al 30.5% e lìSpd al 17%: il 24 settembre avevano ottenuto il 32.9% ed il 20.5%, rispettivamente. AfD sarebbe salita invece dal 12.6% all’attuale 15%.
Il 14 ottobre si voterà in Baviera e le prospezioni indicherebbero ad oggi che la Csu perderebbe 7.8 punti percentuali, la Spd ne perderebbe 5.8, mentre AfD ne guadagnerebbe 13.1 (tredici punto uno).
Il 28 ottobre si voterà in Hessen (Assia), e le proiezioni indicano la Cdu a -7.5 punti percentuali, l’Spd a -5.5, ed AfD al 12%, con un guadagno di 8 punti percentuali.
«L’Spd ha accusato il peggior risultato dal Dopoguerra nelle ultime elezioni del 24 settembre, prendendo il 20%. Un sondaggio di Forsa fa emergere che se si andasse a votare ora l’Spd calerebbe al 18%: e se il 76% degli aventi diritto si recasse alle urne, in linea con gli ultimi trend, la quota all’Spd scenderebbe al 14 per cento.
Un nuovo numero, e recente, aggrava l’incertezza: a inizio gennaio, dopo che solo il 56% dei vertici dell’Spd ha espresso giudizio favorevole all’accordo preliminare sulla GroKo riuscendo appena a bloccare il dissenso della corrente dei giovani, il numero dei tesserati è salito da 440mila a 464 mila, un aumento di 24mila in un mese: in centinaia, al giorno. Secondo una chiave di lettura, la “chiamata alle armi” del 28enne Kevin Kuehnert, leader dei giovani Juso, può aver dato i suoi frutti: i nuovi tesserati sarebbero i contrari alla grande coalizione.
Quel che preme all’elettorato socialdemocratico, e questa è un’altra linea di pensiero, non è l’Europa ma una migliore Germania
Schulz, un grande politico ormai con un piccolo seguito.» [Sole 24 Ore]

Questi dati sembrerebbero indicare che se il 24 settembre la allora Große Koalition aveva preso una legnata terrificante (perse 189 deputati elettivi), tutto questo tempo dilapidato per formare una coalizione dei perdenti abbia corroso ulteriormente la base elettorale dell’Union e dell’Spd.
Se si votasse oggi la Große Koalition sarebbe semplicemente impossibile: non avrebbe la maggioranza dei deputati.
Ma Frau Merkel ed Herr Schulz perseguono esclusivamente la loro bramosa voluttà di un concupiscente potere: ritornare ad essere Cancelliera e poter finalmente gestire il Ministero degli Esteri. Poi, après moi le déluge!
Oscar Wilde diceva che
«L’egoismo non consiste nel vivere come ci pare ma nell’esigere che gli altri vivano come pare a noi.»

Ma il diavolo fa le pentole, mica che faccia anche i coperchi: prima lusinga ed ammalia, indi affossa senza pietà alcuna.
I congiurati che assassinarono Giulio Cesare ebbero per tre giorni il controllo dell’Urbe e dell’esercito, ma dopo il discorso di Antonio furono obbligati alla fuga ed infine i conti si regolarono a Filippi.
Tutti i superbi incontrano un giorno o l’altro il loro Antonio.
*
Se Frau Merkel tiene in assoluto non cale la propria base elettorale ed il fatto di aver rinnegato tutto il programma con il quale aveva chiesto il voto agli elettori, il miserabile Herr Schulz deve invece fare i conti con il proprio partito. Deve sottoporre al voto degli iscritti la vidimazione del proprio operato.
L’Antonio di Herr Schulz si chiama Kevin Kühnert.
*
Herr Kevin Kühnert è ad oggi il leader dei giovani socialisti, JuSo. Ecco cosa vuole:
«urges delegates to the party not to back another four years of coalition with German Chancellor Angela Merkel»
*
Già una volta Herr Schulz ha chiesto ai 463,723 iscritti all’Spd il parere sul suo operato:
«The hand vote outcome was unclear so an exact count was necessary. To the huge relief of some, the great disappointment of others, the result was: Ja – 362, Nein – 279. One delegate abstained.»
Ha ottenuto una maggioranza ben risicata.
Ed adesso deve tornare ad interrogare la base degli iscritti.
Herr Kevin Kühnert sembrerebbe essere un vero e proprio guastafeste: non ha nessuna intenzione di suicidarsi per fare un piacere a Frau Merkel ed ad Herr Schulz: è loro riconoscente quanto Frau Merkel lo fu ad Herr Helmut Kohl.
Da giovane socialista disinvolto e spigliato, nel breve volgere di pochi giorni porta 24,339 nuovi iscritti al partito socialista.
«Kevin Kühnert (1. Juli 1989 in West-Berlin) ist ein deutscher Politiker der SPD und seit dem 24. November 2017 Bundesvorsitzender der Jusos. Zuvor amtierte er als stellvertretender Vorsitzender
Kühnert trat 2005 in die SPD ein und war von 2012 bis 2015 Landesvorsitzender der Jusos Berlin. Ab 2015 war er stellvertretender Juso-Bundesvorsitzender und für die Themen Steuerpolitik, Rentenpolitik, Strukturpolitik, Rechtsextremismus und Migrationspolitik sowie für die Social-Media-Arbeit zuständig. Am 24. November 2017 wählte ihn der Bundeskongress in Saarbrücken mit 225 von 297 Stimmen zum Vorsitzenden der Jusos. Er trat damit die Nachfolge von Johanna Uekermann an, die nicht noch einmal zur Wahl angetreten war.
Kommunalpolitisch ist Kühnert im Bezirk Tempelhof-Schöneberg als Mitglied der Bezirksverordnetenversammlung aktiv
Nach seiner Wahl zum Juso-Bundesvorsitzenden sprach sich Kühnert gegen die Bildung einer erneuten Großen Koalition aus („#NoGroKo“). Während der Sondierungsgespräche über die Bildung einer solchen Koalition im Januar 2018 bekräftigte er seine Position und sprach sich stattdessen für eine Minderheitsregierung aus. Nach dem SPD-Parteitag vom 21. Januar 2018 in Bonn intensivierten die Jusos ihre Kampagne #NoGroko und forderten Unterstützer unter dem Motto „Tritt ein, sag’ Nein“ zum Eintritt in die SPD auf, um die Große Koalition bei der anstehenden Urwahl zu verhindern.
SPD-Generalsekretär Lars Klingbeil kritisierte die Juso-Aktion: „Wenn man jetzt sagt, ‚Tritt ein: Für 10 Euro bleibst du zwei Monate Mitglied, stimmst gegen die Große Koalition und gehst dann wieder raus‘, das entspricht nicht dem, wie ich Partei-Arbeit verstehe. Das reduziert auch den Wert einer Mitgliedschaft. Da sollten wir klar vereinbaren, dass sowas nicht geht.“
Kühnert seinerseits betonte, dass die Jusos Neumitglieder werben wollten, die aus Überzeugung in die SPD eintreten, „weil sie unsere Grundwerte teilen. Wenn diese Mitglieder anschließend unserer Argumentation folgen, die Große Koalition abzulehnen, ist daran nichts anrüchig.“
Kühnert wirbt für eine Polarisierung zwischen den großen Volksparteien, damit Rechtspopulisten sich nicht als vermeintliche Alternative darstellen könnten; er nennt die Besteuerung von Vermögen, einen höheren Mindestlohn und die Bekämpfung von Leiharbeit.
Die Glyphosat-Entscheidung im Kabinett Merkel sei gegen einen klaren Kabinettsbeschluss der GroKo getroffen worden.[10] Hinsichtlich einer in der SPD diskutierten Kooperationskoalition (KoKo) sagte er in einem Interview im Dezember 2017: „Viele Menschen, die eine große Koalition nicht wollen, haben ein sehr feines Gespür dafür, wenn versucht wird, ihnen ein alternatives Modell zu verkaufen, […]“
Am 1. Februar 2018 äußerte er im Interview mit Jan Böhmermann im Neo Magazin Royale Kritik an den Koalitionsverhandlungen der SPD mit der CDU/CSU zur Bildung einer Großen Koalition und am „rassistischen Bullshit“ der CSU, wobei er riet, diesen als Anlass für den Abbruch der Koalitionsverhandlung zu nutzen» [Fonte]

«Kevin Kühnert (1 luglio 1989 a Berlino Ovest) è un politico tedesco del SPD e dal 24 novembre 2017 è presidente dello Jusos. In precedenza ricopriva la carica di Vice Presidente
Kühnert è stato presidente di Jusos Berlin dal 2012 al 2015. Dal 2015 in poi, è stato vice presidente federale di Juso ed è stato responsabile della politica fiscale, della politica pensionistica, della politica strutturale, dell’estremismo di destra e della politica migratoria, nonché del lavoro sui social media. Il 24 novembre 2017, il Congresso federale di Saarbrücken lo ha eletto presidente dello Jusos con 225 voti su 297. ….
Dopo la sua elezione come presidente federale del partito Juso Kühnert si è pronunciato contro la formazione di una nuova Grande Coalizione (“#NoGroKo”). Durante i colloqui esplorativi sulla formazione di tale coalizione nel gennaio 2018, ha riaffermato la sua posizione e si è invece espresso a favore di un governo minoritario. Dopo il congresso del partito SPD a Bonn il 21 gennaio 2018, i Jusos hanno intensificato la loro campagna #NoGroko e hanno invitato i sostenitori a unirsi al SPD con il motto “Vieni, di loro no” per impedire alla Grande Coalizione di partecipare alle prossime elezioni primarie.
Il segretario generale di SPD, Lars Klingbeil, ha criticato l’azione di Juso:”Se ora dite, iscrivitevi: Per 10 euro, rimarrete membri per due mesi, voterete contro la Grande Coalizione e poi ve andrete di nuovo’, il che non è come intendo il lavoro di partito. Ciò riduce anche il valore dell’affiliazione. Dovremmo chiarire che questo non è possibile”.
Kühnert, da parte sua, ha sottolineato che i Jusos volevano reclutare nuovi membri che si unissero al SPD per convinzione,”perché condividono i nostri valori di base”. Se poi questi membri seguiranno il nostro argomento per respingere la Grande Coalizione, non è disdicevole”.
Kühnert sostiene una polarizzazione tra i grandi partiti popolari, in modo che i populisti di destra non possano presentarsi come una presunta alternativa; cita la tassazione della ricchezza, un salario minimo più elevato e la lotta contro l’occupazione temporanea.
La decisione del glifosato nel cabinet Merkel era stata presa contro una chiara decisione del GroKo. In un’ intervista del dicembre 2017, riguardante una coalizione per la cooperazione (KoKo) discussa nell’Spd, ha detto: “Molte persone che non vogliono una grande coalizione hanno un senso molto fine quando cercano di venderle un modello alternativo,[…]”.
Il 1° febbraio 2018, in un’ intervista a Jan Böhmermann nel Neo Magazin Royale, ha criticato i negoziati di coalizione dell’Sdp con la CDU/CSU per formare una Grande coalizione e la “stronzata razzista” della CSU, suggerendo che dovrebbe essere utilizzata come un’ opportunità per interrompere i negoziati di coalizione.»

Riassumendo.
In perfetto stile liberal socialista, Herr Kevin Kühnert si è comprato per 10 euro ciascuno 24,339 nuovi iscritti al partito, che voteranno di non accettare la Große Koalition.
Come si vede, i destini di 82 milioni di tedeschi sono stati valutati un po’ meno di 250,000 euro.
Se comprare i voti al mercato del pesce è il modello di democrazia tedesca, sinceramente ne facciamo volentieri a meno.
→ Jusos. 2018-02-08. Petition
Bei einer ersten Durchsicht des Koalitionsvertrages haben wir uns die drei vom Bonner Parteitag festgelegten Punkte, die konkret wirksame Verbesserungen gegenüber dem Sondierungspapier darstellen sollten, genauer angeschaut. Zwei davon – der Ausstieg aus der Zwei-Klassen-Medizin und eine weitergehende Härtefallregelung für Bürgerkriegsgeflüchtete – wurden klar nicht erreicht. Bei der Forderung zur Abschaffung der sachgrundlosen Befristung gibt es einen Kompromiss mit Licht und Schatten. Statt konkrete politische Leitlinien für eine mögliche Regierung festzulegen, verliert sich der Vertragsentwurf insgesamt in mehr als einhundert Prüfaufträgen und bleibt eher bei einem „Weiter so“. Anstatt die Top-Themen Digitalisierung oder Integration mit einem eigenen Ministerium aufzuwerten, bekommen wir nun ein Heimatministerium mit Orban-Freund Horst Seehofer an der Spitze.
Zum Personal: Dass die personelle Neuaufstellung zum Erneuerungsprozess der SPD dazugehören wird, war ja klar. Dass die Personalfrage jetzt dominiert und deshalb niemand mehr über Inhalte spricht – obwohl genau das jetzt angebracht wäre –, kann nicht unser Anspruch für das Mitgliedervotum sein. Die Debatte kommt damit wirklich zur Unzeit. Sie hätte sinnvollerweise erst nach Abschluss des Votums geführt werden müssen.
Kevin und der Bundesvorstand wird in den nächsten Tagen und Wochen in der ganzen Republik unterwegs sein und uns dutzenden Diskussionen stellen. Wir wollen mit SPD-Mitgliedern über den Koalitionsvertrag diskutieren und sie überzeugen, dass eine erneute Große Koalition nicht die beste aller Möglichkeiten ist. Dabei ist für uns klar: Wir drängend darauf, dass überall Pro und Contra zu Wort kommen. Denn das ist Voraussetzung für eine konstruktive Debatte.
→ Jusos. 2018-02-08. Groko or No Groko?
Berlin.
It happened in Bonn last Sunday, on January 21st. There were close to 650 delegates, the gallery in the congress hall was also packed with observers. The suspense was almost visible, also among the demonstrators outside. All over Germany millions were watching closely to see if the future path of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Germany’s oldest political party, might be taking a new fork. Party representatives from all sixteen states moved towards a vote – for or against renewing the Grand Coalition (in German “Grosse Koalition”, shortened to GROKO) with their traditional adversaries but senior partners for the past four years, the “Union” – Angela Merkel’s right-center Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian offshoot, the Christian Social Union (CSU).
The speeches had lasted all day. SPD leader Martin Schulz urged a Yes vote; join with them! After four months since the September elections with no proper government and cabinet, only the old one hanging on as caretakers, Germany must at last be saved from political disintegration. Only two alternatives were available; an unprecedented minority government for Merkel’s Union (and she has already rejected such a rickety structure) or new elections. But the far right, fascistic wolves of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), already howling in the Bundestag with 94 seats, might very possibly win even more. His warning about them was the only point in his speech to get more than luke-warm applause, which is all he got at its end, a strong hint of the weakened position of the man who, one year ago, was welcomed so warmly – very briefly – as a new party savior, who had boldly pledged the SPD after the election to quit the coalition and become an active opposition party to Merkel & Co. and so regain its old-time strength. He has since swallowed those proud words.
The SPD certainly needs to regain strength! Four years of compromise under the pressures of the Merkel crowd, achieving little of value for the working people who traditionally supported the SPD, were punished with a measly 20.5 % of the vote, a loss of 5% in four years. The CDU and CSU lost even more, getting their worst results since 1949, but still led the field of seven parties with 34 %, while the SPD teeters on the edge of losing its position as major competitor and rival.
This explains why a surprising leftish resistance could swell up in the SPD during the one short week since the three party coalition negotiators presented their compromise agreement – and opposing it! The proposed four year government, they argued, with the Union always in a stronger position, would lose our SPD even more voters, it could push us out of the central court forever! It’s plain suicide! We must stay out, stand up for old-time principles, win back lost support, as Schulz had once demanded.
A few smaller state delegations risked opposition. But almost unanimous in condemning any move to join a new government and enjoy those warm, comfy Cabinet chairs was the independent young members’ annex to the party, the Jung Sozialisten – called Jusos – traditionally more militant and further to the left than the main party organization. It was their posters which had predominated all week – and now outside the congress hall: NO GROKO! And inside the hall their speeches outshone the loud but less convincing words of Martin Schulz. It was a division somewhat resembling current wing fights within the Democratic Party in the USA.
Taking the floor as last speaker before the vote was Andrea Nahles, who chairs the SPD caucus in the Bundestag. She was once a leader of the party’s left-wing, in fact, she was president of the Jusos – in 1995-1999. Years in the coalition, also as Minister of Labor, have mellowed her views considerably. But they have not depleted her oratorical skill! She blasted the present Juso leader and demanded a vote in favor of a coalition. She praised the skimpy points gained during the negotiations and promised to try for a few more in the direct coalition bargaining which must now follow: such as equally good medical care for patients with government–supported insurance as for those favored with private insurance; protection against uncontrolled job lay-offs; support in uniting split-up refugee families. But, she admitted, new gains would, at best, be very thin; the two Union parties, facing strong attacks from further right wing forces within and outside their own parties, rejected any new compromises. Nevertheless, she warned, there was no alternative to a Yes for GroKo!
The major union heads present, with their close ties to SPD leaders, nodded in agreement, as usual preferring the “lesser evil”. Fifty-odd party apparatchiks, like super delegates in the US Democratic Party, had been preaching around the country till they were hoarse: in favor. Opposing them were at most about 90 Juso delegates. The result seemed predictable, yet the suspense was almost intolerable.
The hand vote outcome was unclear so an exact count was necessary. To the huge relief of some, the great disappointment of others, the result was: Ja – 362, Nein – 279. One delegate abstained.
With this OK the three-party negotiations have now moved into forming a new government, framing, now definitely, an agreed-upon program and deciding who gets which Cabinet job. (Many wonder whether a modicum of decency after his once proud, now forgotten words will move Schulz to refrain from such a job.) All this will again take time; it is hoped it can be inked before the jolly Karneval days (like Mardi Gras) in mid-February, by ancient tradition a time when fools rule the day! Fools or not, by Easter the new government, after six months of haggling, should finally take over.
But halt! Between the fools’ parades and the Easter bunny comes Lent, a time of repentance and, even for secular SPD leaders, perhaps unwanted abstinence. By their own ruling there must first be a referendum; the entire 430,000-strong SPD membership must vote for approval or rejection. So another tense period of exhortation and recrimination lies ahead.
The mostly youthful NO GROKO forces have taken a tip from Jeremy Corbyn’s success in upsetting the hidebound and/or corrupt, Blair-faced forces in the British Labour Party; his supporters recruited thousands of new members who voted “for Jeremy” and have greatly enlivened that party ever since. In Germany, a Juso spot in Google to join the SPD (ten euros for the first two months) won 1700 new members within one day. The party leaders got worried; are they genuine Social Democrats – our kind? They may be able to set a cut-off date after which newbies could not vote.
Just a week before the SPD meeting in Bonn thousands of people joined in East Berlin, as every year, to march or walk to honor Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht at the handsome memorial site for them and many others who fought and sometimes died for a just world – more precisely, a socialist world. Many who placed a single red carnation at the site were the “old faithful” from GDR days, elderly, dwindling in number, but there were also young people from all Germany and neighboring countries, of many nationalities. Few if any were from the SPD; the thousands here supported either the LINKE or a panoply of groups and grouplets far and further to the left.
These were people with mostly skeptical views about the on-going SPD conflict. They recalled how Karl Liebknecht had to defy his SPD caucus pressure and – very much alone – vote against war credits for the Kaiser at the start of World War I; how Rosa and Karl went to prison for opposing the war as well as the Social Democrats who joined a government backing it to the bitter, bloody end. And how their hopes for a new, socialist Germany after that war were stymied by the Social Democratic Party which, at least passively, was complicit in the brutal murder of the two in January 1919, a date again being marked by those who still admire them. Though divided by political disagreements, both within and outside the LINKE party, almost certainly everyone taking part here saw that both sides in the planned GROKO approved German boots on the ground from Afghanistan to Mali and Estonia (and who knew where next?), plus a new, swift, powerful European military force led by Germany. They saw that the proudest accomplishment of the SPD in the past four years had been a new minimum wage in allegedly prosperous Germany: 8.84 euros (about $11), full of loopholes, and with no hike in taxes for the super-rich! And they saw the growing danger of the invigorated fascists who trumpeted hatred of foreigners, especially Muslims, but aimed at working people. Some CDU-CSU leaders were moving in the same direction! Could the Jusos with their NO GROKO – and could the LINKE with all other genuine antifascists – stop the rightward march? 2018 may well contain many days of suspense!
→ Reuters. 2018-01-13. No Grand Coalition! Opponents of Merkel alliance hit the road
Wernigerode, Germany (Reuters) – Opponents of a renewed German “grand coalition” took to the road on Saturday, hoping to persuade members of their Social Democratic Party (SPD) to vote against governing with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives for another four years.
*
The party’s rank-and-file, bruised after seeing the SPD’s previous stint as Merkel’s junior partner lead to its worst election result since 1933, is wary of its leaders’ calls for the party to step up for the sake of Germany’s stability.
Leaders of the SPD and the conservative camp thrashed out a 28-page blueprint for a possible “GroKo” grand coalition government this week, recommending that their parties hold formal coalition talks.
But at a regional party meeting in Wernigerode, a medieval town of half-timbered buildings at the foot of the thickly forested Harz hills, delegates wrestled with the issue which has split the party down the middle.
“Important demands that the SPD made ahead of the elections are simply not in the document,” said Kevin Kuehnert, leader of the SPD’s Jusos youth wing, who will spend the next week criss-crossing the country arguing for delegates to vote “No” to coalition talks at a special party congress next Saturday.
“We Jusos aren’t going to make ourselves the servants of a Black (conservative) government that demands deportations or a refugee camp,” said Florian Luedke, a local youth delegate wearing a “NoGroKo” badge, to applause.
Their message resonated at the regional party conference in Wernigerode, where delegates voted 52-51 against pursuing negotiations on a grand coalition. There were four abstentions, the SPD said.
The slump in the SPD vote in the Sept. 24 national election has left the membership in a contrary mood, with many calling for the party to reinvent itself in opposition rather than attempt to implement what they see as thin gruel in the coalition blueprint.
The document is sprinkled with pledges – on strengthening the European Union, on supporting refugees, on tax and pensions – designed to appeal to the more radical membership.
But most fall far short of what the SPD campaigned for in the election. A tax hike for the wealthy or the establishment of parity between private and public healthcare were absent from the document thrashed out with Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and her still more conservative Bavarian CSU allies.
“DAMNED LONELY”
The Jusos are angered particularly by the document containing an aspiration that migration not exceed 220,000 a year, dismissing it as an “asylum cap by another name”.
The SPD’s branch in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s largest state, also opposes a repeat of the coalition. Hit by the decline in the heavy industry that had provided its traditional voter base, it was toppled in the regional government by Merkel’s CDU last year.
Even some senior party figures are not completely sold on the idea.
“There is a great deal of scepticism,” Manuela Schwesig, SPD state premier in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, told NDR Info radio.
Across the country, voters have deserted the SPD for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party or the Left party, formed from the ashes of the former East German Communist party.
Addressing the regional congress in Wernigerode, Social Democrat Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel urged delegates to resist the temptation to lick their wounds in opposition, urging them to use power to give people a reason to vote for them.
“If you never make compromises you’ll end up damned lonely, pretty quickly,” Gabriel said. Only in power can the SPD advance policies that would win it votes, he added.
He praised the deal’s commitment to strengthening the EU and tackling youth unemployment across the bloc, saying that in a world where U.S. President Donald Trump was an increasingly unreliable partner and China ever more powerful, social democracy was hard to achieve “by national means”.
On this, at least, the radical youth wing agreed with him.
“There was lots of social democracy in the first bit on Europe, but after that it stops,” Luebke said of the coalition blueprint. “Vote against the Grand Coalition, and look for ways to renew our party.”
