Bernd Kaiser expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas on the death of her stepdaughter but accused her of politically exploiting the tragedy. He wrote that Bas is resigning from her position as Federal Minister of Labor and the presidency of the SPD party but is keeping her Bundestag mandate. Kaiser criticized that Bas would therefore continue to receive a salary and additionally statutory transitional pay: the full ministerial salary for three months and then half for up to two years. He compared this to the regulations for employees: those who lose a stepchild have no right to statutory special leave; in the public sector, there are two days off for the death of direct relatives. He claimed that Bas did not change this regulation during her time in office. Kaiser accused Bas of evading political responsibility by referring to grief and public attacks while the costs would be borne by taxpayers. #BärbelBas #SPD #Doppelmoral #BärbelBas #SPD #Politik (translated)

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.

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)
