China Xiaokang Net, September 5th, old horse Babel Bass, president of the German Bundestag, believes that German politics can meet the current challenges. The most important task is to signal to people that despite the energy crisis, they can survive the winter without a hitch. In October 2021, SPD MP Bas Bärbel Bas from North Rhine-Westphalia will replace Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU), reports the German Broadcasting Union. The President of the Bundestag is the third woman to hold the position after Annemarie Renger (SPD) and Rita Sussmoot (CDU).
In an interview with DW, Bass expressed support for more civic participation. She believes the Citizens Council form initiated by her predecessor Wolfgang Schaeuble has helped close the "gap with the institutions of the German Bundestag". “I find there is a sense of alienation. I strongly advocate for that form in state councils and municipalities as well. At the end of the day, it’s important to derive workable solutions from it.”
