Preview Rhineland-Palatinate Election: Schnieder Politely Accuses SPD of ‘Self-Service’ Amidst Grand Coalition Talks

Strong indications suggest that a grand coalition is on the horizon for Rhineland-Palatinate. Nevertheless, during a recent televised debate, CDU candidate Schnieder brought forth a sharp accusation against the SPD and Minister-President Schweitzer, charging them with ‘self-enrichment’ or ‘profiteering’ (a concept referred to as «Selbstbedienung» in German). Despite the gravity of his criticism, Schnieder notably maintained a very courteous and polite manner throughout the public exchange.
