France’s new government meets with focus on the budget and immigration – Europe live
New PM Michel Barnier says he will not increase the tax burden and says the number of migrants ‘has become unbearable’
Germany’s Social Democratic party (SPD) narrowly won yesterday’s election in Brandenburg – and the party leadership is now downplaying questions about Olaf Scholz’s candidacy in next year’s national election.
“Yesterday’s election gives us courage that we can do it, but of course I also know that the challenges and the questions we have to deal with at national level are far from dealt with as a result of yesterday evening,” the party’s co-leader, Lars Klingbeil, said today, the Associated Press reported.
Klingbeil reiterated that that Scholz’s candidacy isn’t in question.
“There is absolutely no wobbling,” he said. “In the leadership of the party, the parliamentary group, among the state governors and ministers, there is no discussion about this in any place.”
