NORDIC TALKING
Stefan Rychlak in conversation with Anke Spoorendonk
Dry humour, cool temper, not a word too many - that's the North German. Or so they say. But we still manage to have good conversations! NORDIC TALKING is about political and personal issues. Our guests are inspiring northerners who are committed to change and Nordic cohesion - learn more about their visions, goals and how they use their very personal experiences to make the region even better: How are you shaping the North? And what does the North do to you?
The moderator of the series is journalist Stefan Rychlak. He has worked at ARD-aktuell in Hamburg for more than 20 years, he is chief of staff in the tagesschau newsroom. Rychlak works in the Hanseatic city, lives in Schleswig-Holstein and wants to make honest announcements at Nordic Talking: Nu ma Butter bei die Fische!
In conversation with ANKE SPOORENDONK
The Southern Schleswig Voters' Association is unique in Germany: it is the only party guaranteed entry into the state parliament, even if it has less than five percent of the vote. For many, Anke Spoorendonk was the SSW personified for a long time - she led the party of the Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein into government for the first time in 2012. The coalition of SPD, Greens and SSW had exactly one vote majority. Spoorendonk became justice minister and second deputy to then-Prime Minister Torsten Albig.
Some called her brittle, while others called her approachable and hands-on - nothing comes from nothing. Spoorendonk wanted not only to represent the Danish minority in the state parliament and government, but also to bring Danish ways of life into politics. What does that mean? And how did she fare in the process? That's what we ask her at Nordic Talking.
