K question in the SPD: Scholz vs. Pistorius-who has the better chances?

The voltage increases in the SPD! The hottest question: who will be the candidate for chancellor? Franz Müntefering, the old Haudegen of the Social Democrats, brings a breath of fresh air to the discussion and lets it boil down. "The K question is far from decided," clarifies the 84-year-old. A clear word against the trend!

In an interview with the "Tagesspiegel", Müntefering emphasizes that everything in the SPD runs according to clear rules and committees. "Decisions are not just made. That lets his listeners puzzle: who will be ahead?

Scholz and Pistorius: Who has the greatest ambitions?

The seeds of uncertainty thrive, because Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke out unimpressed by weak survey values at the weekend. He confirms his claim to the Chancellor candidacy for the Bundestag election 2025. "I am a runner and have a good condition," says Scholz and is optimistic. But can he really take the decision so easily in his own hand?

his party colleague and defense minister Boris Pistorius is shiny in the spotlight! In surveys, he cuts off better than Scholz. "I firmly expect the SPD and I get such a strong mandate in 2025 that we will also lead the next government," says Scholz. But what does Pistorius think? Does he have the potential to overtake the old hands of Scholz?

Müntefering brings another dimension into play: "The decisive factor is not the person, but the question: Who has the best chance of implementing the big thing?" It's about more than just names. He is reminiscent of Herbert Wehner, the legendary SPD parliamentary group leader, who was always concerned about putting up the party. "With all personalization, you have to think of the big whole," says Müntefering.

Scholz and Pistorius are on the crossroads. The tension lurks in the air while the Social Democrats move to the crucial months. Who will triumph in the end and lead the SPD to the next election? The answer remains exciting!
