Investigations against Berlin SPD top candidate Steffen Krach: The party continues to support him

The Berlin SPD top candidate Steffen Krach also feels supported by his party during the investigations against him. When asked whether he felt the “support” of the SPD, Krach answered in the affirmative on the RBB station Radioeins. He wants to continue campaigning and make his contribution.

The Hanover public prosecutor's office is investigating two cases against Krach due to initial suspicion of taking advantage. In addition, she is investigating initial suspicions of anti-competitive agreements in tenders in conjunction with the violation of trade secrets and the breach of the duty of confidentiality. The suspicion is said to be related to his time as regional president of Hanover. Krach has repeatedly reiterated that the allegations are not true.

In the afternoon, Krach is expected to attend a discussion event organized by the Club Commission network on the future of Berlin club culture, followed in the evening by a panel discussion organized by the Turkish-German Entrepreneurs' Association. An event on the future of Berlin's allotment gardens is scheduled for Saturday, and the "7 Days Countdown Election Arena" in the Chamäleon Theater is scheduled for Sunday.

In the evening, Krach spoke at an event on Berlin's application for Expo 2035 and took part in a panel discussion by the climate protection movement Fridays for Future. He only commented on the allegations in passing.
