The Working Group on Migration and Diversity within the SPD has called for a special party convention this fall. According to the chairperson of this group, the current party leadership has failed, making it necessary to elect a new leadership team.

This demand is met with discontent within the party, reflected in ongoing discussions about the future direction and leadership of the SPD. A special convention would provide an opportunity to redefine both the leadership and the strategic orientation of the party.
