[HIGHLIGHTS] Chancellor Scholz: “Peace in Ukraine is an arduous process”

The top ranks of the SPD meet in Norderney. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has agreed and is traveling by helicopter.

The ministers Boris Pistorius, Hubertus Heil, and Karl Lauterbach accepted the invitation of their state groups in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. The top candidate for the European elections, Katarina Barley, also makes it to the conference in the north, as does the Co-chair Lars Klingbeil. The conference is open to the public, but only members of the party are invited to stay for the entire two-day event, with the exception of the Bundestag president and deputy president, both of whom are staying in Berlin for the rest of the week. The meeting is expected to last until Friday night, with a break for lunch on Saturday.
