Gerhard Schröder is back in public. After his burnout diagnosis, he attended a meeting in the Lower Saxony state parliament.

Gerhard Schröder is back on the political stage. Around three and a half months after his burnout disease became known, the former Chancellor surprisingly showed himself to be elected in the election of the new prime minister in the Lower Saxony state parliament. On the side of his wife Soyeon Schröder-Kim (born 1970), the 81-year-old looked solved and in a good mood

Color -coordinated appearance

The couple provided a conversation with a color-harmonious appearance: While Schröder-Kim appeared in a light-gross bouclé jacket, the former politician carried a pink tie to be a dark blue suit for the outfit of his wife. , the former head of government in the visitor lodge of the state parliament was observed when joking with the former Federal President Christian Wulff (CDU).

It was only in February of this year that Schröder’s lawyer of the German Press Agency announced on request that the former Federal Chancellor had gone into clinical treatment for a diagnosis of burnout.

Conored appearance in the committee of inquiry

The diagnosis had become public after Schröder had canceled an appointment in the Schwerin state parliament in January for the construction of the controversial Baltic Seepeline Nord Stream 2 at short notice. At that time this had led to speculation about his state of health.

Stressful relationship with the SPD

The former Chancellor’s appearance in Hanover takes place at a time when his relationship with the SPD is still considered burdened. After the Russian attack on Ukraine, Schröder was strongly criticized as a lobbyist of the Russian energy industry and because of his close friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A party exclusion procedure of the SPD failed, but the party had revoked parts of his party rights. In addition, honorary memberships were withdrawn from the former Chancellor, for example at the Borussia Dortmund football club and at the DFB.

Gerhard Schröder was Prime Minister in Lower Saxony from 1990 to 1998 before he was seventh Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1998 to 2005. His return to the public is now in the place where his great political career once began.
