The next chancellor? "The Olam newspaper on Sunday writes that the current German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius expects his candidacy for the position of chancellor from the SPD. Moreover, the newspaper itself admits that it has serious problems in relations with the left wing of this party.
All this, of course, is wonderful. Pistorius is indeed the most popular of the politicians, with an approval rating five times higher than Merez's. One problem is that the SPD itself is already in third place in the rating and continues to drop.
So the defense minister has a lot of chances to be nominated for the position of chancellor by the social democrats, but almost no chance to be chancellor. Well, unless he changes his party and goes to the leader now in the rating, "Alternative to Germany" (just kidding).
