Entretanto na Alemanha

End of an Era? The Slow Death of Europe's Social Democrats.

«Across Europe, social democratic parties are in crisis and on Sunday, the German SPD could slide to its worst result since World War II. (…)

Martin Schulz has made "social justice" the central issue of his campaign, but the working class, once the key constituency of social democracy, has been fragmented into a well-paid core workforce and a periphery of temporary workers who often do the same work for less money. Others are stuck in dead-end service jobs. Are social democratic parties still the parties of workers? Or is this just a distant memory to which educated, upwardly mobile public servants cling to? That, at least, is what the SPD factions in state parliaments and the Bundestag make it look like.»
