The Conservatives are to blame for the deadlock? Olaf Scholz co-ruled

If you believe SPD leader Lars Klingbeil, the foundations for the country's future prosperity were laid in these three days. However, if you look at the results, they are not the praised “workpiece” (quote from Chancellor Olaf Scholz), but patchwork.

The alliance, which propagates progress, has different ideas as to which path leads to a good future. The coalition partners only agree when it comes to the past: Angela Merkel and the CDU messed it up.

When Greens leader Ricarda Lang explains that a lot has been left undone in recent years, then this criticism is understandable, because the Greens have not been part of a federal government since 2005. But when Scholz says that Germany owes the standstill of recent years to conservative politics, it becomes absurd.

As a coalition partner, the SPD was part of this policy. What's more, Merkel's policy was actually a social democratic one, from retirement at 63 to the minimum wage. And the then Vice Chancellor Scholz also called the climate protection law, which GroKo 2019 launched, “right and ambitious”.

Today he obviously sees things differently. Benevolently, one could call this knowledge gain. But Scholz gets stuck with his knowledge on the "life of Brian" level: it was her, it was her. And so was he.
