The comment from Susanne Kusicke criticizes the SPD women, particularly their chairwoman Carmen Wegge, for dismissing criticism of Manuela Schwesig with the accusation of sexism and thereby risking being perceived as untrustworthy themselves. #SPDFrauen #Sexismus #ManuelaSchwesig (translated)

Karina Moessbauer wrote that the SPD accuses the Union of inhumanity, indecency, and sexism, but provides no concrete examples aside from a confidential background conversation. At the same time, there has also been criticism and calls for resignation from the SPD. On July 30, the SPD subdistrict of Bielefeld called on Bas and Klingbeil to give up their dual roles. On August 10, the working group on migration and diversity demanded a special party convention to elect a new party leadership in the same autumn. The leadership structure with party chairpersons Bas and Klingbeil, who also held ministerial positions, was "obviously a failure." On September 21, SPD Bundestag member Markus Töns called for a separation of party and ministerial office. The party needed a more political leadership in the crisis, which was not possible from a ministerial position, he explained according to Moessbauer. On September 24, the SPD district association in Frankfurt also demanded a resignation and referred to a personnel restructuring as a prerequisite for a credible political new beginning. #SPD #Politik #Parteien (translated)

Martin Reichardt thanked the CSU for documenting the appearance of Vice President Andrea Lindholz and Bernd Kaiser for a comment he reportedly adopted. Reichardt recalled a statement made by Left Party MP Gebel in March. She had countered him in the Bundestag by saying that the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, but he was still more sensitive. According to Reichardt, this remark was met with thunderous applause; no one was offended by the wording. Gebel had also miscalculated by 7,000 nerve endings. This week, Reichardt hinted that Gebel did not know her own sexual organ. Lindholz subsequently spoke of an invasion of privacy and misogyny, and imposed a fine on him, he wrote. Reichardt accused the Bundestag of double standards: when a left-wing politician aims below the belt, it is cheered, while the same wording from a conservative is regarded as an attack on the dignity of parliament. He described this as a whiny double standard and demanded that the parliament not measure with a double yardstick. #Doppelmoral #Klitoris #Bundestag #Doppelmoral #Bundestag #Politik (translated)
