Candidacy for chancellor
“What a shitshow”: How Operation Scholz is paralyzing the SPD
Olaf Scholz has to rebuild his divided SPD and convince himself as a candidate for chancellor. How is that supposed to work? Over weeks that left their mark.
The Chancellor has already spoken for a solid 15 minutes, has touched on practically every topic, only one thing has been consistently left out so far: Why should this work, with him as the candidate for Chancellor, who even his own party is questioning?
“One last sentence about how things will continue now,” says Olaf Scholz finally. “Why there is something we need to discuss with each other.” Scholz could now address the considerable doubts about his candidacy for chancellor and the rift in his party. But Scholz sees the “big controversy” these days as lying somewhere else: How do you manage to modernize the country?
