Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) has SPD Federal Chairwoman Saskia Esken criticized for their handling of election results. After every election in recent years, he had heard party leader Esken say “actually everything is fine, we just need to explain our politics better,” said Wegner in a conversation with Tagesspiegel editor-in-chief Lorenz Maroldt and the audience at the Tagesspiegel country and gourmet market on Sunday. “What is she actually trying to tell us?” he asked. “Is she trying to say that the voters are too stupid to understand this?” he asked. This explanation of the election results “is annoying,” he said.
