SPD presser kandidat Uta Francisco dos Santos til at trække sig i Berlin-Mitte

Berlins SPD i Mitte-distriktet kræver, at spidskandidat Uta Francisco dos Santos trækker sit kandidatur som distriktsborgmester. Årsagen er hendes langvarige sygemelding fra finansforvaltningen i senatet siden sommeren 2024. SPD's spidskandidat Steffen Krach støtter også presset.

Berlins SPD-distriktsforening i Mitte har opfordret Uta Francisco dos Santos til at trække sig. Hun var blevet placeret som nummer et på SPD's liste til distriktsforsamlingen i Mitte, hvilket gjorde hende til kandidat til posten som distriktsborgmester. Nomineringen fandt sted på et delegeretmøde den 20. november 2025. Distriktsformændene Annika Klose og Yannik Haan har udtalt, at det ikke er ansvarligt at fortsætte kandidaturet på nuværende tidspunkt. Dos Santos har i vid udstrækning været sygemeldt siden sommeren 2024, men optrådte i valgkampen. Medierapporter, herunder fra Tagesspiegel, har rejst alvorlige spørgsmål, da hun ikke har været transparent omkring sin arbejdsmæssige situation. Dos Santos ønsker angiveligt at holde fast i sit kandidatur. Via en advokat meddelte hun torsdag, at hun har været langtidssygemeldt. En lægeerklæring bekræfter, at hendes frivillige engagement, herunder kandidaturet, ikke hindrer hendes helbredelsesproces. SPD's spidskandidat til valget til Repræsentanternes Hus den 20. september, Steffen Krach, lægger også pres på. "Jeg er enig med distriktsledelsen i, at Uta Francisco dos Santos ikke længere kan stille op som distriktsborgmester," udtalte han. "Et nyt kandidatur skal nu afklares hurtigt." Visse rapporter antyder, at hun trækker sig, men dette er ikke bekræftet i alle kilder.
