Germany’s SPD nominates Europhile Martin Schulz (Merkel in a suit) for September elections against Merkel. Apparently, it’s called ‘choice’
‘Senior members of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) have endorsed an initiative to nominate Martin Schulz as the party’s candidate for the September 24 elections.
About 35 SPD leaders on Sunday unanimously approved Schulz, a member of the European Parliament and its former president, as the party’s candidate to challenge Chancellor Angela Merkel in the general elections.
The decision has to be approved in SPD’s special party conference, which is planned to be held in Berlin in March. If approved, 61-year-old Schulz will replace Sigmar Gabriel, the current leader of the party and vice-chancellor in Merkel’s grand coalition government. Gabriel has announced plans for resignation to enhance SPD’s chances in the parliamentary elections.’
