00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.080
<I>Willy Brandt</I>        <br/>        <I>at the SPD's party congress</I>

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.320
<I>in Dortmund's venue Westfalenhallen.</I>

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.880
<I>Before the delegates</I>        <br/>        <I>of the 900,000 members</I>

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:10.840
<I>of the Social Democratic Party</I>

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.640
<I>and their prominent speakers,</I>

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.680
<I>Willy Brandt formulates</I>        <br/>        <I>his party's manifesto.</I>

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:19.840
<I>It especially focuses</I>        <br/>        <I>on a better quality of life,</I>

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.200
<I>within the framework of developments</I>        <br/>        <I>in democratic socialism.</I>

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:25.680
<I>He also attacks</I>        <br/>        <I>his political opposition</I>

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:27.680
<I>CDU-CSU.</I>

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.320
Don't lose heart, honourable Barzel,

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.960
and get down to work,

00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:35.200
as the opposition can also do that.

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.840
We're speaking from experience here.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.240
<I>From the confrontation</I>        <br/>        <I>with the political opposition</I>

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.600
<I>to the point</I>        <br/>        <I>behind social-democratic politics.</I>

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.520
All people want to know

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.040
whether they can rely on the Social
Democrats in crucial questions

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:58.800
pertaining to a modern, free society.

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.640
Trust is a political asset

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:06.960
that a party must not put at stake.

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.480
We Social Democrats
gather this trust arduously

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.000
in our day-to-day work on problems

00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:18.760
that affect citizens directly.

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.160
We do not want to overthrow
that which has been tried and tested.

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:28.440
No, we want to renew
that which needs renewing.

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:30.800
That's what social-democratic politics
is about.
