SPD Presidium Meeting In Berlin

BERLIN GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 24: Leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Chairwoman of the SPD faction Andrea Nahles (C) arrives for a meeting of the SPD presidium on September 24, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. The governing coalition in Berlin struggled about the future of former President of the Federal Office for Constitutional Protection (Bundesamt fuer Verfassungsschutz, BfV) Hans-Georg Maassen. Maassen will be appointed as Seehofer's Special Advisor for European and International Affairs in the Interior Ministry after the Social Democrats party (SPD) called for a renegotiation of the promotion of Maassen to Secretary of State. Maassen was promoted after the SPD had doubted his suitability in the fight against right-wing extremism, based on statements about the riots in Chemnitz. (Photo by Clemens Bilan-Pool/Getty Images)
