Brandenburg Premier Dietmar Woidke Campaigns Ahead Of Brandenburg State Elections

BERNAU BEI BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 14: Dietmar Woidke, German Social Democrat (SPD) and Premier of the state of Brandenburg, speaks to voters during an election campaign stop on August 14, 2024 in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany. The state of Brandenburg is one of three eastern German states scheduled to hold state elections in September and is the only state where the SPD still has a respectable showing in polls, a fact analysts attribute to Woidke's popularity. The SPD is facing stiff competition from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), the German Christian Democrats (CDU) and the new Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW).
