Gabriel goes to Schulz

berlin - With regard to his threatening farewell as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sigmar Gabriel accused SPD leader Martin Schulz of breaking word. 'What is left is really only regret about how disrespectful we are in the SPD and how little a given word still represents', said Gabriel in an interview in the newspapers of the Funke media group.

Gabriel, who last year sat for Schulz as party chairman and candidate for the chancellorship, did not say exactly what promise he had received. The story goes that he would keep his minister post if there was a new coalition with CDU / CSU. When it came to that, Schulz suddenly claimed it, even though he had always called to never sit in a cabinet of Angela Merkel.

For Gabriel, therefore, a fall of the political scene threatens, even though he is loved by the supporters of the Social Democrats. 'A new time is now starting for me. My little daughter Marie said this morning, 'Do not worry, Daddy. Now you can spend more time with us. That's better than with that man with all that hair in his face. ' '
