in The case of Simon Vaut can be for the SPD to be a disaster. Not only for the Brandenburg party. Because the man is a fraud, a fallen top candidate – in addition to will damage the election campaign of the SPD for the European elections in the country and beyond.

The case Vaut affected first of all the chances of Brandenburg Enjoyed for all further, in this year’s upcoming elections: municipal parliaments and the provincial Parliament. The hope that the man will be forgotten in the next few months, is deceptive. Why? Every time you look at an election poster of the SPD and, most recently, the urn will be remembered by all.

Since the competing parties will need to make no fire, no another word to lose. Especially since the SPD commencement of in the state of Brandenburg up to the election without the De facto leading candidate. You can designate a new or no new candidate for the top. This thing is legally done. In Brandenburg, the SPD remains connected with a man who has to give up his European mandate, if he wins one; the must have to withdraw, cancel all appointments; of the party.

The CDU under Ingo Senftleben comes on

And the Federal-wide top candidate Katarina Barley will suffer. Not only because she was with Vaut in the election campaign, and praised him for his “great work”. But because of the common voters the question of whether he can trust Comrade now, if the select a top candidate. A, obviously do not know yourself truly. A followed against the vote of the country party leaders and the Prime Minister.

Speaking of which, The said Dietmar Woidke says. The must anyway anxious for some time to his majority in the state election. That of Brandenburg, since the German-German inflection is always SPD-governed, it remains Red, not identified. The CDU under Ingo Senftleben, the AfD also, in the end it will go to three, four percentage points, which decide about victory or defeat. And both is for Woidke possible.

This precarious position, Yes, this escalation would have kept in front of one or one and a half years, also for any possible. Therefore, there can be basically no side events as in the case of the SPD, with Vaut, because which can be crucial. In the state as in the Federal. For the SPD, the could be lost to lead to a cascade of decline: the case of the European elections, cut off badly in the local elections, in the parliamentary election, the majority; to possibly before, in Bremen, after several decades, the Power (which is not excluded) – who’s going to believe that of all of the other elections in the East will give a positive Signal? Of Saxony, where the SPD stands at around nine per cent?
