The debate on the matter is too exhausting for many. The SPD politician and former state minister Michael Roth strikes a thoughtful and critical note on the news service X: "The debate on the matter is too exhausting for many. However, we must and can criticize politicians, including Bärbel Bas. But please, based on the issue. A politician can also fall ill, grieve, take time, but should not face mockery and hate. Do you really want that in the end, only the cynical and thick-skinned remain? Those who need the steel storm on X and in talk shows like the air they breathe? I have my doubts that this will make politics better." #BärbelBas #Rücktritt #SPD (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. Bas retains her parliamentary mandate and hopes to be able to work with full strength again soon, wrote Laska. She expressed her condolences to Bas. #Politik #SPD #Trauer (translated)

Salomé recalls another of the assessments Ayuso made that Saturday at the first campaign event, alongside other leaders like José Luis Martínez-Almeida or Alberto Núñez Feijóo, as well as former presidents Aznar and Rajoy. #AcampadaSol #ViviendaDigna #Terrosimo (translated)

Now one can say that I am a bad loser. But the goal should not count for me because it is a clear foul. If it is a normal block by Krauß, then I'm in.

Wolf wrote that shortly before the elections, increasingly positive news began to emerge. As an example, he mentioned a supposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine had confirmed that it was unaware of any such thing but was willing to cooperate, he wrote. He criticized this approach and asked whether a positive atmosphere was being deliberately created just before November 3, only to be reversed afterward. He also wondered whether people were truly so easily influenced and believed everything. #Wahlen2023 #Energiekrise #UkraineRustland (translated)
