Fundamental Values Commission of the SPD
The Basic Values Commission at the SPD party executive was appointed in 1973 by the then party chairman Willy Brandt and deals primarily with questions that - as he himself put it - “go beyond the day”. The Fundamental Values Commission thus deals with topics that have an overarching long-term significance for various political contexts and / or political culture or political action and require social democratic answers. The long-standing prominent chairman of the Fundamental Values Commission was Erhard Eppler , who chaired the committee from 1973 to 1992. He defined the Fundamental Values Commission as the only party body that meets permanently and reflects on what is happening or should happen politically. The Fundamental Values Commission gained importance during the SPD-SED policy talks at the end of the 1980s, when the commission, together with the Academy for Social Sciences at the SED Central Committee, adopted the joint dialogue paper " The dispute of ideologies and common security ", in which both parties laid down their common will for the peaceful coexistence of two German states.
