BERLIN - Support for Germany’s Social Democrats has fallen after members last week chose as leaders a leftist duo who are skeptical about remaining in government with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives, a poll showed on Saturday.
At a party conference on Friday, the SPD gave their new leaders, Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans, a mandate to talk to Merkel’s conservatives about continuing in government and set out some relatively modest policy demands. A Forsa poll put the SPD on 11%, 3 points down from a week ago and hitting a low last seen in June after previous leader Andrea Nahles quit due following the party’s worst-ever result in elections to the European Parliament.
“Contrary to what the SPD hoped, the long search for a leader has not turned out to be a high point for democracy but rather a big let down,” said Forsa chief Manfred Guellner.The SPD’s new leaders have expressed doubt about the future of the coalition but are prepared to give it a chance if the conservatives accept their demands.
