on The other want to have clarified the social Democrats, the CDU candidacy for Chancellor. The earlier exclamations Scholz and behind him, he can gather, the better could be the Union’s internal struggle over the Merkel’s power-succession for political use. In the last Federal election it was always fight Vice versa: The Union had with Merkel’s uncontested candidate, while the SPD continued to maul in Power.
Too often, the SPD verstolperte the Kandidatenkür
The SPD wants the mistakes of the last election don’t fight now repeat. A still of Andrea Nahles commissioned a secret study came after the crash of the SPD with Chancellor candidate, Martin Schulz, at the election of 2017 to the conclusion that the candidacy for Chancellor urgently needs to be earlier and more comprehensively clarified. 2012 (Frank-Walter Steinmeier) and 2016 (Peer Steinbrück) verstolperte the Kandidatenkür under the leadership of the then Chairman, Sigmar Gabriel, somewhat chaotic.
at the beginning of 2017 cleared, Gabriel and Schulz, K-question late and tense among themselves. Sebastian Hartmann says, therefore, what are all the in the party headquarters thinking: “A good campaign takes time and must not verstolpert. This shows the bitter analysis of the party’s Executive Board the last General election.”
The SPD looks for a carefully planned Scholz campaign in a good starting position. You will have after the election victory in Hamburg much more Confidence in the entire party, especially the metropolis of Munich could be won in the recent municipal election clearly. With Lars Klingbeil, an organization, a strong Secretary-General to hold together the wings of the party currently being sent.
The SPD Federal Minister of Franziska Giffey to Hubertus Heil did a good Job, and Olaf Scholz spent in the popularity rankings of German politicians currently at the very top. He had in the population “felt the Chancellor of the format” and also bourgeois voters to speak and the majorities in the middle.
The SPD Chairman – a Remnant of the Fifties
What about the SPD officials are not talking, of course, are their chairs. Saskia esque and Norbert Walter-Borjans, apply to the upcoming election campaign, rather than a burden. Esque acts in the media as a “sadistic social studies teacher” (Focus) and Walter-Borjans, as a an Amateur “grandpa” (image).
During the corona crisis, they are struck again and again by crude ricochet and clumsy proposals of ideological moth boxes. You try rather clumsy, your Ministers, the journalistic water grab.
None of your attempts is coordinated with the group, much of the language sounds like the content of yesterday’s. “The world” describes the social-democratic sentiment: “The SPD-Ministers in the Federal Cabinet to cope with the Corona-crisis with reason and sense of proportion. But this is hardly noticed, because the chair sound as if you were still living in the fifties”.
The SPD party leaders occupy in the current approval ranking of the top politicians place on 17 or 18 – still behind Dietmar Bartsch (Left), and Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP), just barely in front of Alice ryegrass and Alexander Gauland (both AfD). That esque and Walter-Borjans, can beat a Olaf Scholz, the party’s internal contest for the party presidency, is now considered as the Achilles ‘ heel in the election campaign. Under the Green is already widely used the saying: “As one who is not defeated once Saskia esque can be, Chancellor?”
Up in the Rankings: Merkel, Söder and Scholz
but when we Look in the popularity rankings to the top, standing there next to Angela Merkel only Markus Söder, and Olaf Scholz. Söder, as Scholz earn reputation points as they were half a year ago for the unthinkable kept. Söder obsolete in the approval of recent surveys values, even Angela Merkel. And Olaf Scholz, the man had mocked for so long as a Drudge “Scholzomaten”, the eloquent Robert Habeck, Friedrich Merz, Armin Laschet and behind.
In the political Berlin is discussed, therefore, a constellation for 2021 louder and louder: A Federal election campaign Söder versus Scholz. So since the days of hissing skirmishes between Söder and Scholz, to be followed closely. If the upper limit for debt, of the municipal protection shield, or any coupons you taunt now every day against each other.
After the two had searched for at the beginning of the corona crisis, the demonstrative closing of ranks of the sovereign decision makers, Scholz even specially travelled to Munich to make this for all the world to see, start the Distancing and positioning of the fights. If Scholz is soon an official candidate for Chancellor, is expected to be a tight spot for Söder greater.
