Heimatgefühl wrote that Bärbel Bas (SPD) had resigned from all offices for personal reasons after her stepdaughter had passed away. He could understand her resignation and wished her a lot of strength. However, Bas retained her Bundestag mandate and criticized the CDU in her resignation statement, he wrote. At the same time, Heimatgefühl reminded that Bas had referred to Germans as "uniformly brown." The author disagreed with the assessment that some SPD members are now expressing, that hardly anyone stands for values as much as Bas does. In his personal opinion, she should have resigned earlier and also given up her Bundestag mandate. #BärbelBas #SPD #Bundestag (translated)

Dr. Paula Piechotta wrote that with the resignation, there is once again one less woman in the federal government.

Bärbel Bas initially expressed her condolences for the death of her stepdaughter, which Bas had mentioned among other reasons for her resignation as SPD chairwoman and Federal Minister of Labor. At the same time, the author suspected that Bas had left a sinking ship in light of difficult political times. In his opinion, she had always been able to withstand headwinds from the coalition or parts of society and reacted sharply to them. Since her stepdaughter had already passed away at the end of September, the timing of her resignation had a certain aftertaste for him. #BärbelBas #Trauerfall #Rücktritt #Bundestagsmandat #Ämtern #Rücktritt #Politik #Trauerfall (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann recalled that Anette Schavan and Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg had resigned from their positions in the CDU in earlier times after their doctoral titles had been revoked.

"Inside CDU" wächst sich zum Problem, um nicht zu sagen zur Katastrophe für die CDU aus. Dabei würde ich weniger auf Philipp Amthor gucken - wie der so ist, wußte man früher schon, auch wenn hier natürlich alles besonders karikaturhaft beleuchtet wird – sondern v.a. auf den unglücksrabigen🐦‍⬛ Carsten Linnemann. Dieser hatte bisher ein außerordentlich positives Image, auch und gerade bei konservativen und liberalen Unionskritikern, er war eine Art "Sunny-Boy". Nun scheint er den Satz von Franz Josef Strauß zu illustrieren: „Everybody's darling is everybody's Depp.“ Der Höhepunkt der Serie war für mich dann Linnemanns Satz: "Der Bundeskanzler hat mir keine Wahl gelassen! Es war ein faires Gespräch." Also das, in dem er (aus nach wie vor völlig unklar bleibenden Gründen!) gezwungen wurde, das geliebte Amt des CDU-Generalsekretärs aufzugeben und stattdessen von allen denkbaren Ämtern gerade dasjenige zu übernehmen, zu dem er sich zuvor für unfähig wie an ihm desinteressiert erklärt hatte (!). Dem erschrockenen Zuschauer entfaltet sich hier, wie vollkommen sich die Gedankentätigkeit auch von hochintelligenten und durchaus anständigen Akteuren zu korrumpieren scheint, wenn sie eine zeitlang den ständigen, zumeist eigentlich inhaltsleeren Macht- und Ränkespielen ausgesetzt sind, bzw. aktiv mitspielen müssen. Selbst der kluge, sympathische Linnemann scheint selbst nicht zu bemerken, was für einen bestialischen Unsinn er da eigentlich erzählt – so wie Amthor nicht bemerkt, was für eine lächerliche Karrikatur er ist...🥳🤔 Eine Demokratie, die ein solches Personal anzieht bzw. aus sich hervorbringt, ist nicht mehr funktional. Wir müßten so wohl selbst dann zugrundegehen, wenn es keinen Chinesen auf der Welt gäbe. Gibt es aber... #CDU #Politik #Demokratie
