Berlin. The German social-democracy has discovered, after a long lethargy within one day of your Elan again. The reason is the decision by Sigmar Gabriel, to Martin Schulz, the priority for the Chancellor candidacy. The step has aroused the fighting spirit in the SPD: Suddenly, it seems possible that the party of the Union, in the Bundestag election in 2017 to be dangerous.

Alone what is going to be for a candidate, exactly, Martin Schulz, is still completely unclear. Maybrit Illner tried on Thursday night to bring some light into the Dark. Domestic policy, election campaign, red-Red-Green: What the Chancellor candidacy of Martin Schulz?

With a view on the internal political orientation of the new SPD Chairman ruled, however, in the round of General perplexity. “I don’t know if he will be a left or a right-wing social Democrat,” said FDP-Chef Lindner. It was almost refreshing to be honest.

The other guests were trying, meanwhile, to face Schulz in a favorable corner. Left-Boss Katja Kipping derived from Schulz’s time in Europe, a lack of social Agenda. And the CDU-politician Carsten Linnemann pretended to be happy about the candidacy, because the Union is now, at last, with a left-wing politician whose plans could argue. Clear that Thomas Oppermann found only warm words: “With this candidate, we have a greater Chance, say it all,” said the SPD faction chief.

The best assessment, Martin Schulz, delivered finally, Jan Fleischhauer. “Schulz is the Guttenberg of the social Democrats,” said the mirror Journalist. He was a media phenomenon, also because he had the perfect social-democratic resume. “The heart will go on”, was a Butcher.

A large gain in knowledge did not bring the round to the topic of Martin Schulz yet. The same was true, unfortunately, for any of the following games to possible coalitions after the election. Anyone who wanted to read between the lines, could see that, especially Left-Boss Katja Kipping favored a red-red-green Alliance.

And Thomas Oppermann? The SPD-man struggled with the Dilemma, which will accompany the SPD and is probably the entire campaign. On the one hand, green is the ideal Alliance for the social Democrats seems to be red-red -, to make to the Chancellor. 30 plus X percent? “Let us try”, called for Oppermann surprisingly self-aware.

On the other hand, carries with it a left-wing government also has its dangers for the party. “We are probing, but there are limits: weaken Europe or a Nato-outlet not go with us,” said Oppermann.

trench warfare and self-adulation

At the end of this edition of Maybrit Illner is a good example of why talk round, which are occupied almost exclusively with politicians, often work. Constantly the discussion from the usual tomb was fighting and self-congratulation of the parties dominates. No wonder, then, that the refreshing contributions came almost exclusively from the love of controversy Fleischhauer, however, was much to little time.

The actual theme – the consequences of the Chancellor candidacy of Martin Schulz was too short. There is also the very hypothetical banter about possible coalitions no longer helped. “I would advise, to lead the coalition negotiations until after the election.” Would Thomas Oppermann said this sentence just prior to the shipment.
