SPD leader Bärbel Bas launched a charm offensive at the family business day in Berlin. Despite her reputation as a blocker in the coalition, she managed to score points.
Bärbel Bas admitted before the hall of family entrepreneurs that she is sometimes dogmatic. However, she also emphasized being pragmatic and above all reliable.
The SPD leader admitted to having been personally involved in the months-long polarizing debate in the coalition. She praised the long-term perspective of family entrepreneurs in contrast to the quarterly logic of corporations.
Bas highlighted the courage and responsibility of entrepreneurs for their workforces and entire regions. She is grateful for everyone who takes responsibility, especially entrepreneurs, she said.
