What does the historical defeat for the top staff of the SPD mean? While party leader Klingbeil reaches for power, party leader Esken is criticized. Some don’t see that.
Women from the SPD face the current personnel debates behind party leader Saskia Esken. “The dual leadership, the Chancellor and the party executive were commissioned to plan and lead the election campaign. As a team,” said one of the Chairman of the SPD women’s working group, Maria Noichl, the “Stern”. “Therefore, a failure can never be mated with a woman.” The principle is that you win together and also lose together.
After the election disaster with a historically bad result for the SPD, party leader Lars Klingbeil had announced a generation change. However, the 47-year-old stays party leader himself and also grabbed the parliamentary group chair.
Since then there has been a debate about Esken’s role. It was already clear that she had worked with great pleasure in the unity of the party for years. “And I intend to do that further,” said Esken.
