Wiesbaden - call him many Thorsten Schäfer-who? She knows almost everyone who failed and want to keep the state and party leader.
Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, the new top candidate of the Hesse-SPD, Andrea Ypsilanti, and his close confidants.
If the 39-year-old just a puppet for the ex-leading candidate who can not be prime minister for four, renegade comrades?
Now he will play against the CDU state premier Roland Koch. Ypsilanti, however, retains all the offices. She: "With me going to his side and with the whole party in the background" to fight the nominee - and unwittingly set the internal balance of power between herself and her only confidant.
In addition: Who is the new top candidate at all? Schäfer-Gümbel (39) has three children, loves smart suits, since 2003 in the parliament. He belongs to the left wing, is Vice-Chief of the SPD Hesse-county South and Chairman of the party left SPD subdistrict attributed casting.
On Sunday he said that his association would continue to work closely to Ypsilanti. Hesse, CDU general secretary Michael Boddenberg held against: Ypsilanti keep with the naming of "disciple", the reins of the national party in the hand. The SPD would "continue to run with another head against the same wall."
