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)
