BERLIN - Germany’s Social Democrats are becoming unelectable after the head of their youth wing JUSOS called for companies such as BMW to be collectively owned, works council chiefs have warned.
The uproar took on a new dimension with the publication on Saturday of comments from works council chiefs, traditionally among the party’s biggest supporters, who said the SPD was alienating itself from workers. The backlash threatens to further erode support for the SPD, junior partner in conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition. The SPD is languishing in polls and risks heavy losses in European and regional elections later this month.
Brecht pressed the SPD to work out quickly what it wants to stand for: “For secure jobs and a sustainable industry policy, or for fantasies far from reality that in the end only cost jobs and increase social inequality.”
