Schröder before 80: Don't regret any political decision. Schröder sees no major mistakes in his political life.

He said no to the Iraq war, forged the reform agenda in 2010 and remained loyal to his friend Putin despite the war of aggression. “I don’t want to talk about the end of life now, but as long as they let me, I’ll remain a social democrat,” he says of his political party, the SPD.
