Klingbeil reacts in horror to the Union attack against Bas

SPD leader and Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil reacted with horror after a violent attack on his co-party leader Bärbel Bas from the ranks of the Union. "What's that supposed to mean? We are in damn difficult times. We have to stick together in a government,” said the Federal Finance Minister in Celle, Lower Saxony.

Klingbeil was referring to statements by the chairman of the influential middle class parliamentary group (PKM) in the Union faction, Christian von Stetten. “The minister is no longer sustainable,” the CDU MP told the Bild newspaper about Federal Labor Minister Bas. "For months she has been blocking the reforms that our country so urgently needs." Klingbeil did not mention von Stetten's name, but mentioned the Bild article.

Klingbeil turned to the CDU and emphasized that there was a “second majority” in the Bundestag alongside the Union and the SPD – namely the Union and the AfD. »But I don't want that. And I hope that many in the CDU don't want that, but when I hear comments like yesterday, I ask myself: Where are some people in the CDU actually headed?"
