SPD campaigning for “Die Heimat” and seeking a coalition with this party?Since the AfD’s rise, Germany has been experiencing a shift to the right. The supposedly democratic parties are increasingly using terminology that, until not so long ago, was considered “right-wing.” 
The posters in Saxony-Anhalt now proclaim in large letters: “PREVENT BLUE, SAVE THE HOMELAND, VOTE SPD!” Next to it stands Armin Willingmann, serious, bearded, his gaze directed to the right from his perspective. Or toward the coalition agreement, who knows exactly. Prevent blue – that sounds like the usual anti-AfD mantra. But the real twist lies in the second line. “Save the homeland.” Not save Saxony-Anhalt, not save democracy, not save the welfare state or pensions. No: homeland. And now this very word, which until recently was still regarded in the right circles as loaded, right-wing, somehow improper, is emblazoned on SPD-red posters. What a coincidence that there is already a party in Germany with exactly that name: Die Heimat. The former NPD, renamed in 2023 to sound fresher and more rooted in the people. A party that presents “homeland” not as a feeling, but as a political program. And now the SPD is apparently campaigning to save this party, as though it had already prepared the coalition negotiations? The poster promises a stable government. With whom, exactly? The polls are what they are. The SPD is languishing somewhere between 5 and 7 percent. So perhaps one has to think pragmatically. Why not look to the right – exactly where Willingmann is looking on the poster? The Heimat party is small, but it has the name. And in politics, names are sometimes the program. An SPD–Heimat coalition would at least have the virtue of clarity: together, they would save what they are jointly putting on the posters. The fact that the SPD is simultaneously touring the country with the slogan “We are the dike” only makes the whole thing more fitting. The line is, as is well known, taken from a compulsory song of the Reich Labour Service from 1936: “For we are the Reich, and we are the dike around the people and work and freedom all at once.” Apparently, they say, they did not know this. The term has long since become common property. Historical blunders and linguistic borrowings seem to be in fashion at the moment – especially when one wants to reclaim or pass on the concept of “homeland.” So while the SPD is loudly shouting “Prevent blue,” it is saying just as loudly: “Save the homeland.” And the party “Die Heimat” can sit back and watch as the Social Democrats spread its core message for free. Perhaps this is the new pragmatic approach: first adopt the term, then adopt the party that has claimed it. Willingmann is looking to the right. The poster is up. The message is clearly formulated, yet remarkably open to interpretation. Prevent blue, save the homeland, vote SPD – and, for a stable government, perhaps soon with the party that already has the name in its party register? Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
