What a disaster. The SPD has settled in an unprecedented way with its chairman. Lars Klingbeil leaves the party congress in Berlin as a more explanatory. The clever power mechanic is badly damaged.
Under 80 percent: really bad. Under 70 percent: absolute disaster. In the run -up to the party convention in the SPD, speculation about the conceivable results was speculated. Now everything came even worse. Klingbeil even won just under 65 percent.
Caught cold from behind
At the same time, the SPD presented itself as a lying party. Anyone who only had the big debate would have followed without learning the election result would have to think that a party is in a difficult situation, but that the comrades stand together.
Because there was no great billing, no sharp criticism. On the open stage, nobody dared to tell the party leader in the face what one thinks of him. This was also due to the party conference director, which placed plenty of official and officials on the list of speakers. But not only. The SPD pretended to be the bottom line.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. The delegates caught their party leader cold from behind.
Klingbeil’s speech was too little self -critical, complained. The real humility was missing, honest self -criticism.
Maybe another speech would have changed something about the result. But even at 70 percent, Klingbeil would not have been there as a radiant winner.
A popularity difference that causes problems
It is a result that actually raises the question of whether he is the right man in the right job as a SPD chairman. But Klingbeil will not even want to let this debate.
The SPD stands with a popularity difference between 30 percentage points between Bärbel Bas and Lars Klingbeil. What should the party do with it? And what is the coalition partner?
The SPD sends its previously so strong man massively damaged back into the argument, whether with Friedrich Merz or with the opposition.
64.9 percent, this brutal number will pursue Lars Klingbeil. And his party too.
