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)
