Former Chancellor Schröder turns 80: a mud fight for his birthday. Georg Anastasiadis believes he has made a steep decline.

The former Chancellor's defiant and unpatriotic adherence to his “friendship” with a mass murderer disqualifies him from all upstanding Democrats, says Anastasiaadis. He insults the incumbent SPD politicians as “wits” and “poor people’ and spitefully recommends that they resign because of their lack of success.
