Saskia Esken Laments Being "Public Game" and Uncertainties Surrounding Her SPD Role
- Bastards! That's the gist of what Saskia Esken is grumbling about after getting slammed with harsh public criticism following the abysmal SPD performance in the February Bundestag election. While her partner-in-political-crime, Lars Klingbeil, snagged the VC and MoF positions in the new coalition government, Esken was left twisting in the wind - literally and figuratively.
Disgruntled figure Esken voices discontent over intensifying scrutiny and questions regarding its future prospects - Esken expresses concerns over alleged public targeting and discusses her potential future prospects.
On theпенultimate Sunday of the week, Esken made an on-the-record announcement that she wouldn’t be vying for the party chair role at the June conference. Bärbel Bas, the new Minister of Labor (and former Bundestag President), is slated to take her place, riding shotgun with Klingbeil.
In a heart-to-heart chat with pals, Esken vented that women in politics face an uphill battle. "You know the deal - we gotta kill it, but not too tough, or we're labeled frigid bitch; act too sensitive, and we're vulnerable and weak. So, we end up trapped in a battle we can't win."
During an interview with TAZ Verlags- und Vertriebs, Esken felt a few feathers got ruffled when Bas was asked if she supported Klingbeil’s candidacy for party chair. Bas gave a big ol’ “yas queen!” But when it came to Que regina Esken, Bas held her tongue. "Bitch didn't even ask," Esken bitched. "They twisted it around and made it look like Bas was shading me - a dirty little trick."

It should be noted that while the classification "public game" is typically associated with excessive or targeted scrutiny in political discourse, there's no definitive evidence as to whether Esken specifically referenced this term or what it means in the context of this situation. That being said, it can be inferred that her regrets stem from feeling unfairly attacked by the media, other politicians, or perhaps even internal party struggles, which can have ramifications on her future standing within the SPD. It's anybody's guess at this point whether her lamentations over the situation will further complicate things in the party leadership. One thing's for certain - load up on the popcorn and watch the fireworks as this political drama unfolds!
