Competitors stumbled: The big Scholes moment has not yet come? – Politics

It was a successful evening for Olaf Scholes: during a speech to the Brigitte newspaper on Wednesday, the SPD candidate for the presidency linked all questions with a friendly smile. He showed himself to be an emotional person, promoted his political program and attacked the union harshly. The appearance of the SPD man went very smoothly, with champagne corks appearing in the Willy-Brand-House.

However, the finance minister had the opportunity to highlight his strengths, including his nature and experience in high positions above all else – an important asset at a time of increasing crisis with epidemics and floods. Since Angela Merkel will not continue, the Social Democrats reckon, voters of all three candidates will eventually believe she will be guaranteed security and stability.

The candidate appeared more relaxed and relaxed than some looks a few weeks ago. At the time he was in danger of projecting himself as a politician, he was gradually losing touch with reality, “I want to be president of the Federal Republic of Germany”, at the time it was unemotional. At the time the Greens and the Union were still in an upside-down race, with the Social Democrats completely defeated by up to 15 percentage points.

But after a series of breakdowns by Annalina Barbach, her party’s election also fell as doubts grew over the leadership of this candidate for president. Armin Lacet (CDU), which initially seemed to be driving to the Chancellor in a sleeping car, has been so blatantly weakened that, according to black opinion, the black-and-green majority has been crushed – a major strategic breakthrough of the Social Democrats.

The SPD, the three stars of the Greens and Liberals, wants to protect the Scholes Chancellery, with little chance. However, the Social Democrats must overtake the Barbach Party.

Their candidate, so the Social Democrats believe, has lost his right to the chancellor, and his party is doing worse on election day than he did. However, only one company reported a link between red and green, while others saw slightly improved or still stagnant SPD values.

You can put it this way: Olaf Scholes is currently downplaying a good person among incredible candidates. This week, none of the three applicants received In a study with more than 20 per cent approval for the chancellor, but Scholes (18 per cent) left Lacette (17 per cent), and this is only one point behind Berbaugh. He ranks first in other studies, especially as leadership ability is seen by more respondents than competition.

The overall picture may change, because the Germans know that Angela Merkel is actually leaving after 16 years, but have not yet realized. Citizens became more and more interested in dealing with the epidemic. If many people make decisions shortly before September 26 and ask about leadership skills above all else, a new, open situation can emerge.

Will the Scholes moment come then? Even a good candidate gives only one-third of the vote in favor of a party. So Shoals’ chances are not even better. But he has the opportunities he has. This is more than one can currently say about one’s competitor.
