The party staunchly believes in economic and social reforms as well as decreasing military spending and holding unto an anti-interventionist position internationally. Representative of the Falleen left, the party supports increasing the minimum wage, expanding the welfare state, investing in the social services, public ownership of vital industries, economic protectionism and left populism. Sigmar Gabriel resigned as HMP and was given the title of organisational chief of the Socialist Party, the head of the Socialist National Committee, the General Secretary. He served for 12 years, until he lost his re-election to General Secretary to the progressive Christine Lagarde in 577AER.
