In the course of its history, the Social Democratic Party of Germany has often experienced that it is not always easy to get on the right side of history at the decisive moment. It takes courage, conviction, a clear view of the situation and sometimes just luck. It is not yet clear whether Olaf Scholz has these virtues.
SPD chairman Otto Wels had courage when, in his last free speech to the Reichstag on March 23, 1933, he voted against the National Socialists’ so-called Enabling Act. “Freedom and life can be taken from us. Not the honor,” Wels hurled at the Nazis, thus saving the honor of his party.
