SPD-exclusion procedure : Thilo Sarrazin: I reserve the right to seek redress,

The former Berlin Finance Senator Thilo Sarrazin is not responding surprised at the new try to SPD him out of the party to exclude. "This is part of the intra-party power struggle for the future line of the SPD," said Sarrazin to the daily mirror. He waits in silence, "what is the SPD-will write to the Board to me". He reserve, but a lawyer and to the courts. May be the procedure not only the party arbitration, but subsequently the civil jurisdiction deal with.

The SPD Board of management has decided on Monday, a party planning procedure against Sarrazin. The SPD General Secretary, Lars klingbeil said. The basis for the decision, the report of a Commission of inquiry to Sarrazin's recent Statements and publications. The Commission had come to the conclusion, "that Sarrazin's theses propagated with the principles of the SPD are incompatible, and the party causes serious damage," said Klingbeil.

Sarrazin sees it differently. He recalled that the SPD had to move the national Executive of a party planning procedure against him, "because there was obviously no chance". In his new book, there is, in his view, 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.“

In the time between the first and the new party order process was clear, so Sarrazin, "that the subjects dealt with in the company's growing weight". It was not a question of the views of an outsider.

The former Bundesbank Board member Sarrazin in the SPD for a long time as hostile to Islam, is a party to the exclusion failed, however, the most recent in 2011.
