EIn the accusation that one read or heard quite often lately, in conversations, in social networks, and in newspaper articles, is: Saskia Esken is hiding. The SPD chairwoman shied away from the campaign stages and talk shows so as not to alienate bourgeois party supporters.

In the end, however, it is said that those who vote for the SPD because of Olaf Scholz will wake up with Saskia Esken and Kevin Kühnert. And with a left alliance, a red-green-red coalition.
