BrennpunktUA stated that the connections of the SPD to Russia remain part of the party and will not disappear just because they are not talked about for a long time. Some in the SPD tried to portray Gerhard Schröder's visit to Vladimir Putin's birthday celebration as an isolated case; at the same time, Ralf Stegner is once again coming to the fore. The SPD must be criticized for its relationship with Putin's Russia just as much as the AfD, BSW, and LINKE, according to BrennpunktUA. Manuela Schwesig had softened her position for electoral tactical reasons before the MV election. The SPD has not credibly addressed its relationship with Russia to this day, even if Lars Klingbeil claims otherwise repeatedly. #SPD #Russland #Politik (translated)
