Now Peter Brandt has had enough too.
The historian and son of the former Federal Chancellor and SPD chairman Willy Brandt criticizes the current leadership of the Social Democrats for their dealings with Comrade Wolfgang Thierse.
The former President of the Bundestag had opposed the “left identity politics” and gender-sensitive language in his party.
Whereupon party leader Saskia Esken and her deputy Kevin Kühnert expressed themselves “ashamed” of this “backward-looking image of the SPD” in an internal email.
