The candidate for chancellor of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Olaf Solts continues its election campaign in the stronghold of the Christian Democrats, the state of Baden-Württemberg, just a few days before the German elections.

Solz warned to do not there will be a break due to the fact that the SPD precedes the polls. “Our motto is: We do not rest because of the positive polls for us. We press firmly on the ground. “Anyone who wants me as chancellor must also vote for the SPD.”, he stressed.

Late in the afternoon in Esslingen, he reiterated to reporters that under his leadership the anti-money laundering unit has been expanded and is technically better equipped, thus responding to criticisms of his political opponents that he did not do the right thing.

In both of his speeches in Baden-Württemberg, Solz criticized Christian Democrats and Christian Communists (CDU / CSU) that they want to reduce taxes on high-wage earners.

“Such a thing cannot be financed, it is not in solidarity and it is completely anachronistic,” he said, as broadcast by APE BPE, citing dpa.

Solz also answered questions from two 11-year-olds, one of whom, David, asked him if he is upset when he reads or hears something bad about himself. “Sometimes yes, sometimes no. When I am criticized on the news, for example, I always try to imagine that a friend or colleague is doing it (in good faith). “Then you can deal with it better,” he replied.
