Bernd Kaiser expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas on the death of her stepdaughter but accused her of politically exploiting the tragedy. He wrote that Bas is resigning from her position as Federal Minister of Labor and the presidency of the SPD party but is keeping her Bundestag mandate. Kaiser criticized that Bas would therefore continue to receive a salary and additionally statutory transitional pay: the full ministerial salary for three months and then half for up to two years. He compared this to the regulations for employees: those who lose a stepchild have no right to statutory special leave; in the public sector, there are two days off for the death of direct relatives. He claimed that Bas did not change this regulation during her time in office. Kaiser accused Bas of evading political responsibility by referring to grief and public attacks while the costs would be borne by taxpayers. #BärbelBas #SPD #Doppelmoral #BärbelBas #SPD #Politik (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Bärbel Bas is stepping down as co-chair of the SPD and as Minister of Labor. In her letter to the party, Bas mentioned the death of her stepdaughter and explained that she needs time to grieve. At the same time, according to Laska, she wrote that public attacks on her have intensified during this time – even from within the ranks of the coalition partner. According to Laska, Bas has been held responsible for problems within the coalition, including an overly expensive pension, too lenient citizen's income, and a weak economy. The author wrote that political criticism can be tough, but there is a line where it becomes malicious. If a minister refers to her own coalition upon resigning, someone in the Chancellery should take notice, she said.
