While the coalition negotiations are running with the Union, the pressure on Saskia Esken is growing to step down promptly as a SPD-CO boss. This is reinforced by a vacation trip.
Saskia Esken was particularly able to learn from Olaf Scholz: tender qualities. A state minister from her own ranks is required to ban her talk show, there are always internal blasphemy, especially of male comrades, and Friedrich Merz initially ignores it. In return, she promises to annoy the Union in the negotiations, and just continues, announces that the whole thing will certainly not be a male thing.
