Schenk: "Democracy is not a pizza delivery service" - Thuringia’s SPD opens manifesto draft to member input amid debate
A debate has unfolded within Thuringia’s SPD over the party’s draft manifesto. Deputy leader Katharina Schenk urged members to engage actively by submitting amendments if they spot gaps. Meanwhile, Schenk highlighted the role of the Young Socialists (Jusos) in shaping the manifesto. She commended the group for putting forward a large number of proposals. Her remarks came as she called on all party members to contribute their own ideas. The SPD in Thuringia now faces a period of internal review. Members have been invited to propose changes to the manifesto before it is adopted. Schenk’s call for participation suggests the party aims to build consensus through wider input.
