Former SPD Secretary General Kevin Kühnert Rules Out Immediate Return to Politics, Leaves Door Open for Future Comeback
In a recent interview with the Tagesspiegel, Kevin Kühnert, the former Secretary General of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), has confirmed that he will not be returning to politics in the near future. However, he has left the door open for a potential comeback at a later stage, stating that a new chapter will be opened in the summer.
Despite his decision to step back from politics, Kühnert emphasized that he has not lost his political identity. “I’ve learned one thing for life: never say never” he said, adding that he will continue to be a political person, even if his current activities do not involve talk shows, the German Bundestag, or party gatherings.
Cem Özdemir, the Green Party’s candidate for the state election in Baden-Württemberg, has expressed his hope that Kühnert will return to politics in the future. “We can’t afford to lose good personalities like Kühnert” Özdemir said, adding that such individuals help to bind people to democracy.
