Font size

Unionsfraktionschef Thorsten Frei (CDU) hat Irritationen in seiner Partei über die SPD rund um den Rückzug von Arbeitsministerin und SPD-Chefin Bärbel Bas bekräftigt. „Sie sind natürlich zu weit gegangen, das ist ganz offensichtlich. Die Wortwahl ist maßlos gewesen und hat die Sachlage auch nicht getroffen“, sagte er in der ARD-Sendung „Caren Miosga“ zu SPD-Fraktionschef Matthias Miersch.

Bas war nach dem Tod ihrer Stieftochter zurückgetreten und hatte sich über persönliche Angriffe auch aus den Reihen des Koalitionspartners beklagt. Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Ministerpräsidentin Manuela Schwesig (SPD) hatte der Union vorgeworfen, sich Bas gegenüber „unmenschlich“ verhalten zu haben. SPD-Chef Lars Klingbeil bezeichnete das Verhalten der Union als „unanständig“.

Miersch sagte über die CDU/CSU: „Es gab diese immerwährenden Angriffe.“ In seiner Fraktion habe es große Betroffenheit über Bas' Rückzug gegeben. „Und möglicherweise muss man dann nicht jedes Wort dreimal abwägen, um nicht die Unterstellung zu bekommen, man wollte diese große Koalition gefährden.“ Sowohl er als auch Frei betonten die Stabilität der schwarz-roten Koalition.

Alberta votes on possible secession from Canada

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is fighting US President Donald Trump's tariff policies and facing growing separatist tendencies in Quebec and Alberta. While the Parti Québécois has regained power in Quebec, a young separatist movement is emerging in the economically strong province of Alberta, which, according to surveys, could win around a quarter of those eligible to vote in an independence referendum. Carney warns of the lessons of Brexit and is betting on economic projects such as a new oil pipeline and a high-speed train to strengthen Canada's unity.
