“CDU head Angela Merkel has tried for years to serve two sides: the conservative side by holding up her CDU party membership. But then at the same time she acts as though she were also a Social Democrat. I don't have this hydra-headed nature. In the end, people will vote for the Social Democratic original.” PeopleYearsTwoEndsSocialSidesPartyVoteOriginalsDemocraticDemocratConservativeTwo SidesMembershipAngelaHydra Author:Martin Schulz
“I know people's problems: the problems of those who work hard, who must slave away. The couples who have two incomes but who can nevertheless barely cover their rent. The people who get stuck in traffic on their way to work. The people who have to wait in vain for a train to come just as they are supposed to be picking up their children from daycare. I can say with a clear conscience to those people: I understand your problems. And I will do all I can to decrease them.” PeopleKnowsWayChildrenI CanTwoHardProblemWaitingClearHard WorkCoupleConscienceTrainSlaveStuckIncomeSupposed To BeVainNeverthelessTrafficDecreaseClear ConscienceDaycareStuck In Traffic Author:Martin Schulz

That is absolutely compulsory for Germany.” FirstsFactsTogetherSpeakGoalClearTrumpEuropeDestructionGermanyDivisionVolumeTowersCompulsoryPropagandistClear Goals Author:Martin Schulz

“Gerhard Schröder offered a clear German NEIN to an American president's war of aggression that was in violation of international law. That took courage. Ms. Merkel did not join him at the time.
