Scholz in the crisis: How far can the SPD still drop in the election campaign?
The SPD is facing a difficult downward movement after Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has made it clear that he will not compete as a candidate for chancellor. Olaf Scholz stops as a candidate for the Bundestag election, which causes resentment in the party, since many basic representatives want a different leadership. The latest surveys show a dramatic decline in the SPD to only 14 percent, which makes the party fall behind the Greens, while Scholz only achieves 14 percent in the Chancellor's candidate direct election and thus lies behind Alice Weidel, such as berlin-live.de reported.
criticism and violent headwind for Scholz
With the combative support that Scholz enjoys in the party, it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to regain trust. Especially the gap to the CDU and the dissatisfaction with his leadership - only 20 percent of those surveyed are satisfied with his work - a dark picture for the upcoming election campaign. The surveys that characterize him as a burden for the SPD leaves no space for optimism, as daily news.de. Scholz is now trying to become popular with the younger voters by relying on unconventional paths such as appearances on social media. But will this be enough to overcome the increasing dissatisfaction and the catastrophic survey values?
The pressure on the SPD is getting bigger, because given the predicament of the party, the way to the Bundestag election on February 23 will be a test. The leadership in the SPD will be required to close the party series. Lars Klingbeil, party leader, emphasizes the need for unity and a common path. However, if Scholz fails, this could not only mean the end of his chancellorship, but also have an impact on the entire party leadership that is responsible for the decision to nominate him as a candidate.
