Scholz or Pistorius: What future does the SPD really have?

Frankfurt, Deutschland - Frankfurt (ots)

The SPD sees itself in a dramatic dilemma! In view of the falling popularity of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, many in the party fear that he could be voted out in the next federal election. The pressure on the Social Democrats is growing, while Scholz is considered the undisputed top candidate. But what to do if the candidate no longer knows how to convince?

A critical moment is approaching: The consideration of bringing the respected Boris Pistorius into conversation as possible successors encounters resistance. Such a move could be seen as an admission that Scholz failed. Who would trust a party who publicly proclaims a new beginning after sworn to the Chancellor? Pistorius' clear appeal for “manifold” also makes you take notice and does not exactly hit the right tone for future chancellorship. While the base discusses Scholz, it remains uncertain whether Pistorius' voters would also give their voice of the SPD.

The clock ticks for the SPD

Time is urging: A change of the candidate could have fatal consequences. If the Social Democrats now change their strategy, leave a slight field to the competition and could completely write off the choice. Support for Scholz is anything but strong, but the comrades should rethink the support for their party. Being behind Scholz could be the only way out of this dilemma, even if the chances are not brilliant. All of this happens in a crucial phase for the SPD that is fighting for its political future!
