Power struggle over the future line of the SPD

The Board of Directors of the social Democrats in Germany want to try again, the former Berlin Finance Senator and the controversial author of Thilo Sarrazin from the party to exclude. The theses Sarrazin's were not with the principles of the SPD compatible. He's joining the party a "serious harm", informed the Secretary-General Lars klingbeil on Monday.

In the summer, had called on the SPD-top-of-the Sarrazin to leave the party voluntarily, after he had presented his Islam-critical book "Hostile Takeover". A working group was also asked to examine the book and the possibility of a party exclusion proceedings.

"has submitted to The Commission of inquiry is now a comprehensive and very thorough report," said Klingbeil. On this basis, the party Executive had decided, a new party in order to initiate the process. The aim of the exclusion of Sarrazin from the SPD.

The SPD has already failed twice trying to throw the former Berlin Finance Senator from the party. Sarrazin didn't get, among other things, as a support, to behave in a party-damaging. He creates as an author, especially for his 2010 published Bestseller "Germany" is known.

The hurdles for a party of exclusion are generally high, so that it can't be abused, unpopular people to get rid of. The former Ministry officials, Secretary of state, Senator and Federal bankers had said in the summer that he felt in the SPD's "in good hands".

legal proceedings threatened

Sarrazin is not surprised by the against him hard party planning procedure. He waits in silence, "what is the SPD-will writing Board of me," he told the Berliner "Tagesspiegel" (Tuesday edition). In his view, the decision of the Board, a party planning procedure was initiated against him, "part of the intra-party power struggle for the future line of the SPD".

Sarrazin told the "daily mirror", in his new book, there were no Comments, the discussions on social democratic principles. "I made a suggestion, based on a careful factual analysis. I didn't insult anybody, and nothing Xenophobic written."

To reserve the right to the exclusion proceedings against him, a lawyer and take legal action, said Sarrazin of the newspaper. May be the procedure not only the party arbitration, but subsequently the civil jurisdiction deal with. (amu/sda/afp)
