The SPD has chosen a candidate. "At first glance, it seems almost crazy"

Olaf Scholz is to become the SPD's candidate for chancellor in the early elections. The German media have widely commented on the announcement of this nomination announced for Monday. The RND portal assessed that Scholz "has a chance to prove that his chancellorship was not a historical misunderstanding". The Sueddeutsche Zeitung calls him a "burnt-out brand" and writes that "he is most likely the weakest, least suitable candidate for chancellor that the SPD has always put forward".
