The chairman of the Young Socialists within the SPD, Philipp Türmer, has voiced agreement with recent criticism leveled against Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) by former Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens). “I share the criticism and I am confident that a large portion of my parliamentary group does as well” Türmer told the “Tagesspiegel” newspaper in its Wednesday edition.
Türmer stated, “Predictably, Julia Klöckner has, in just over one hundred days, earned the title of worst Bundestag President in recent history”. He further expressed confidence that she would maintain this position throughout the current legislative period.
Habeck, in comments to the “taz” newspaper, accused Klöckner of dividing society, asserting that she has consistently failed to foster unity and instead has focused on polarization and polemics.
