Nahles` failure

Flashing left and driving right

Mrs. Nahles continued the Schroeder Gabriel line with Scholz. She let herself be celebrated as a leftist and then kept the right course.

The basic pension should initially be financed only from the lower income, except for self-employed, civil servants and who earns more than 5000, - Euro. Also assets and share ownership should not be used in the financing. This was even too much for the CDU and she could call the plans unsolid. The Scholz Group then used the much-discussed, but unrealized financial transaction tax as the basis for financing it.

The SPD can not stop serving the wealthy and the higher income groups. Nahles has given her face and that's why she loses it now.

Meanwhile, the SPD deals with personnel disputes without pursuing a strategy. She has not distanced herself from the Schröder-Gabriel line (including the Greens) with low pay and temporary work. Just declaring that there is a different time is not a credible distancing. Who knows if the SPD will declare, when the opportunity presents itself, that it is now time for the harassment of the lower class again. A strategy is not recognizable, colorless officials still determine the appearance of the party.

And the media now have another darling: when Habeck announced that he could imagine a socialization of homes, smiled the mainstream sweet and he was patially pat on the back. When, on the other hand, SPD man Kuhnert spoke of a possible nationalization of a business, this was called a collectivist disturbance maneuver.

Just sticking to government chairs and waiting for better times is not a future strategy.
