德国社民党联合主席巴斯宣布辞职

德国社民党联合主席巴贝尔·巴斯于10月12日宣布辞去党联合主席和劳动部长两职1。巴斯在声明中表示，"我目前无法在短期内充分履行我的政府和党务职责，我已决定辞去两个职位"1。她在公开宣布前已通知总理默茨和党联合主席克林贝尔1。

巴斯辞职的原因涉及个人和政治两个方面。在个人层面，她最近失去了继女，需要时间处理悲伤1。在政治层面，社民党与联合执政的基督教民主党在养老金制度改革和就业法等政策问题上存在党派摩擦1。基督教民主党指责巴斯阻止或延迟了包括德国养老金体系和就业法修改在内的多项改革1。

巴斯自2025年起担任劳动部长，并与克林贝尔共同领导社民党1。此前她自2021年起担任联邦议院议长，直至2025年1。

Bärbel Bas announced her resignation as co-chair of Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) and labor minister on Monday, October 12, 2026.1 In a public statement, Bas explained that she was unable to adequately fulfill her government and party responsibilities in the short term, citing personal grief following the recent death of her stepdaughter.1 She had become a widow in 2020.1

Bas had served as president of the Bundestag under former Chancellor Olaf Scholz's SPD-led government until 2025, before transitioning to her dual roles as labor minister and SPD co-chair alongside Lars Klingbeil in the current administration under Chancellor Merz.1 Before making her resignation public, she informed both Merz and Klingbeil of her decision.1

The departure reflects escalating friction within Germany's coalition government. The CDU has accused Bas of blocking or delaying multiple reforms, including amendments to Germany's pension system and employment law.1
