1. Farewell to a great Democrat
Wolfgang Schäuble died on Tuesday at the age of 81. German politics is losing one of the most influential figures in post-war history.
“Giant of parliamentarism”: The news of Schäuble's death on Boxing Day caused consternation across party lines on Wednesday. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) praised the CDU politician as a “sharp thinker, passionate politician and controversial democrat,” while Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier described him as a “stroke of luck for German history.” The CDU chairman Friedrich Merz wrote on Platform X that with Schäuble he was losing his “closest friend and advisor that I ever had in politics”. And Green Party co-chair Omid Nouripuor called Schäuble a “giant of parliamentarism.”
