Esken criticizes "public hunting" before announced withdrawal

Saskia Esken is the chairman of the SPD, certainly not entirely voluntarily. Nevertheless, the future party leadership has no reason to worry about it. The public debate about her person criticizes her as inappropriate.

After her announced withdrawal from the SPD party presidency, Saskia Esken wants to refrain from personally motivated criticism of her party. Nevertheless, the behaviour of some comrades feels that she is "unmeasured" and criticizes a "public hunt".

There are more important things than personalities: still SPD co-chief Esken criticizes the public debate about her future career. She does not want to "poison" against the SPD in the future.

Saskia Esken loses her position in the SPD. In an interview, the outgoing co-chief criticizes the media dealing with her and the debates about her person.

Saskia Esken went out empty when she was assigned post after the Bundestag election, only a few party friends joined her. In an interview, she now assures us that she will not be submissive – and yet complains of the debate.

Saskia Esken will no longer be party leader after a power struggle in the SPD. In the end, the own national federation turned away. In an interview, the social democrat reckons with critics and complains of a "hunt" on her person.
