Gerhard Schröder: Former Chancellor wants to remain present in SPD history. He sees himself "still in the middle of social democracy": former Chancellor.
He complained that there is no longer a picture of him to be found in the party headquarters on the floor where the chairmen have their offices. The SPD leadership therefore excluded him, but a party expulsion procedure against him failed. He will remain a Social Democrat as long as he is let, he said in an interview with the German Press Agency.
