politics

Silke Tesch had been a member of the SPD since 1995, where she became chairwoman of the Breidenbach local association and, by virtue of office, member of the Marburg-Biedenkopf sub -district . She is a member of Breidenbach's municipal parliament. From 2001 to 2008 she was a member of the Marburg-Biedenkopf district council. From April 2003 to November 2008 she was a member of the Hessian state parliament. There she was a member of the Council of Elders, the Committee for Economics and Transport, the Petitions Committee and the hardship commission at the Hessian Minister of the Interior and for Sport. In 2004 she was a member of the 12th Federal Assembly .

On November 3, 2008, together with Carmen Everts , Jürgen Walter and Dagmar Metzger , she declared that she would not support the election of Andrea Ypsilanti as Prime Minister with votes from the left . The planned coalition of the SPD and the Greens , which should be tolerated by the left, became impossible. An application for exclusion from the party was filed against them by the Frankfurt local association Bonames and other local associations . The SPD local association Breidenbach, in which she received great approval, intended to nominate Silke Tesch again for the state parliament. The SPD district of Hessen-Nord ordered the suspension of their membership rights on November 11, 2008 with immediate effect. Because of her behavior in the failed election of Andrea Ypsilantis as Prime Minister, the arbitration tribunal of the SPD district Hessen Nord decided in the context of the party regulation procedure in November 2009 that Tesch was not allowed to hold any party offices for 18 months, thus tightening the decision of the Arbitration Commission of the Marburg-Biedenkopf sub-district which had only issued a complaint. Tesch appealed the decision. In April 2010, the SPD announced to Silke Tesch that the Federal Arbitration Commission had given her a reprimand. Your appeal against an 18-month ban on functioning was successful. Tesch had argued that the freedom of conscience of members of parliament should not be restricted by party decisions.

On February 16, 2012, Tesch announced that she was leaving the SPD. She had previously announced that she would run as an independent candidate against the SPD candidate Christoph Felkl for the mayor's office of the Breidenbach community . As a result, she was threatened with a new party order procedure. In the mayoral election on October 28, 2012, she lost 39% to Christoph Felkl with 61%.
