The author wrote that he did not want to defend Reichelt, but he interpreted Stegner's reaction as an indication that Reichelt had caught the SPD off guard. According to his account, leading SPD members had used the whole day of mourning for Bas to exploit what he saw as false attacks on the Union. In this context, particularly left-wing party members had been vocal, whom he characterized with a derogatory term as pro-Russian. He accused Stegner of being the last person to lecture others about decency. #Politik #SPD #Anstand (translated)

Mathias Priebe wrote that Bärbel Bas' stepdaughter died at the age of 53 at the end of September. He described the loss as sad, but stated that the grief only affects Bas. He called the connection of the death with alleged excessive criticism of Bas dishonest. In his opinion, Bas must come to terms with the situation. Other people must also continue to work, deliver performance, and endure criticism, Priebe wrote. After several weeks, her environment should no longer have to take her feelings into account, least of all the whole country. He also stated that he could no longer bear it when people portrayed themselves as victims. Grief is individual and, in his opinion, not divisible, Priebe wrote. He generally feels sympathy only for people who are close to him. While he knows compassion, he would have failed as a journalist if he had immersed himself in all the fates he had to report on, he wrote. Moreover, he accused many of allowing themselves to be deceived again by socialists, for whom he used a derogatory term. In conclusion, he asked whether Bas had been attacked too harshly. #Priebshow #Trauer #Medienkritik #BärbelBas (translated)

Even in cases of mourning, it operates in its own world that revolves only around itself. #Bas #Politik #Gesellschaft #Realitycheck (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that leading politicians of the SPD instrumentalized a case of mourning to morally discredit the Union. He described this as a party-political maneuver to prepare for R2G at the federal level. The political games are repulsive, and people have had enough of it, he stated. #Politik #SPD #Moral (translated)

The author wrote that they would be missed from a satirical point of view. However, since her resignation is due to a serious case of mourning, it is appropriate, out of human respect, to sincerely wish her and her family strength, confidence, and courage. #Respekt #Trauer #Menschlichkeit #DE (translated)

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)

Julius Böhm wrote that a personal tragedy should not shield one from criticism in top politics for weeks.

At the same time, he criticized that the Union tolerates this. #Politik #Trauerfall #SPD (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. 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)

Paul Ronzheimer wrote that in SPD circles, the Chancellor's treatment of his minister is cited as one of the reasons for Bas's resignation. Although the Chancellor was personally informed about a death in the family, he continued to criticize Bas during the same period. Schwesig publicly stated that the attacks were "inhumane," also meaning the Chancellor. #Politik #Bundeskanzler #SPD (translated)
