The Social Democratic Party (SPD) is planning a formal recognition for former Chancellor Olaf Scholz in acknowledgement of his 50th year of membership. According to a party spokesperson, the ceremony will follow established local tradition, with the local chapter typically organizing the event.
The SPD intends to present Scholz with a certificate signed by the current party leadership and an SPD pin to commemorate his longstanding commitment. Details regarding the specific format of the tribute are currently being finalized through a vote within Scholz’s local SPD chapter in Potsdam Mitte/Nord.
Sören Drobniewski, who serves as a contact person for the Potsdam and Havelland sub-districts, confirmed the upcoming discussion of Scholz’s milestone during a local chapter meeting on Wednesday. It is customary within many SPD local chapters to incorporate member recognition events into annual celebrations and the current proposed date is December 12th.
