In foyer, postcards were distributed with Willy Brandt when Martin Schulz returned to election campaign on Wednesday evening. On October 8th, 25th anniversary of eternal hero of SPD is on, re is a special stamp for submitter. Martin Schulz has not become a Federal Chancellor, as Willy Brandt once did, but as party leader he is his successor. As such, Schulz entered stage in Döse Hall in Cuxhaven, and rain and wind raged outside. It has been quite stormy about Rhine country Schulz after displacement in Bundestag election and three defeats at Landtag elections previously.
Before next Landtag election on 15 October in Lower Saxony, Brandt’s current heir now appeared to help SPD Prime Minister and leading candidate Stephan Weil-and himself. It will most likely be scarce, but according to most recent survey, orwise so heavily battered SPD seems to have caught up and reopened to CDU. Only twice should Schulz speak on side of Weil, his challenger Bernd Althusmann from CDU has five appointments with Chancellor Angela Merkel. This was Schulz’s first appearance since debacle of September 24th, in hall he was greeted by a few hundred guests with strong applause. “Thank you for signs of solidarity,” replied applauded. “This is doing a good thing in difficult times. That was a difficult one and a half weeks for SPD. “
You can say that. “We fought like Lions,” said Schulz, all he had given, “a bit more than normal”. Seldom did he see SPD so resolutely. Wonders how closed this SPD is, about its chairman Schulz has been debating abundantly since crash. No word from him, only so much: do not let yourself be bent, “so that people can take us away, that we are with belly and heart with m.” CDU, FDP and Greens should quietly talk about a coalition, says Schulz, “our role is opposition.” A strong opposition to government, says Social Democrat, “This is political task that we want to adopt.” The confrontation between Democratic left and right is salt in soup in Parliament.
He had already said this in same way, even before his small non-public brear was much worse-tempered and exhausted than with this short comeback in Cuxhaven. What is new is that SPD curve has been rising again for a few days at least in Lower Saxony. Schulz called it an “encouragement.” And Stephan Weil had an idea: “We lost toger. Now let’s win toger. ” After October 15th, you will know more about Martin Schulz.
