Talk:Gerhard Schröder

Biggest achievement - Nord Stream?

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to reduce Schröder's chancellorship to Nord Stream. In Germany, he is primarily known for two things: Not participating in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and implementing the labor market reform "Agenda 2010". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.55.152 (talk) 20:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Addition to Controversies

With "Hartz IV", Schröder has openly betrayed the guidelines and ideals of the SPD. He had also instigated a hunt against long-time unemployed together with Clement in the media. Like Clement, he was never prosecuted for slandering.

These reforms and the "Schwarze Null"-fiscal policy weakened the social fabric of the German society and the employees' side in pay negotiations and the public infrastructure. That enabled the rise of far-right AfD and was co-responsible for the economic crises in the Euro-zone. But the current leader of the SPD faction in German federal parliament still praises these "reforms": SPD-Fraktionschef nimmt Altbundeskanzler Schröder in Schutz. --Myosci (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Current Role - Gazprom

I have changed the lead from

... is a German retired politician, consultant and lobbyist, who served as the chancellor of Germany from 1998 to 2005 ... TO

... is a member of the board of the Russian state owned company Gazprom, he is also a retired German politician, consultant and lobbyist, who served as the chancellor of Germany from 1998 to 2005.....

This is NOT a disruptive edit. Unless your viewpoint is from the Kremlin. Its a fact, a highly relevant fact - his current role, and the role he is most known for throughout the world. 79.155.94.28 (talk) 17:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

This is most certainly a disruptive edit because it violates the MOS:LEADSENTENCE editing guideline. Schröder is most notable as a German politician. You are welcome to insert the Gazprom info further down. I will note that this is already stated as Schröder joined the board of directors of the Nord Stream joint venture in the Gerhard Schröder#Foreign policy Relations with Russia section.

Recent developments are in the lead summary instead of in the article where they aren't at all

No comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.104.89 (talk) 01:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

This is correct. The events discussed in the lead summary seem significant enough in the context of his life that that maybe a sentence summarising them is justified, with the full content placed in the article body. Could somebody with more knowledge of German current affairs than I please review the content in the lead and see if it's suitable to be moved as is, or whether edits are required for completeness or NPOV? --23:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC) Robert Merkel (talk) 23:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Kim So-Yeon

Did someone vandalise this page? No citations on the supposed marriage and a photoshopped image under personal life. 2603:8001:C00:9659:31CE:1B1B:1230:8BE0 (talk) 04:30, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

I would think so, yes. In the German press his wife's name is cited as "Kim Yo-Jong". 84.229.94.108 (talk) 84.229.94.108 (talk) 05:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Lead

Considering that he was Chancellor for 7 years, the lead should be expanded to reflect on that. As it currently stands there's nothing in the lead on what he actually did in office. Rousillon (talk) 01:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Why Briks?

You wanted that we talk, what should we talk about, you learned about what happened, Berlusconi, well, I complained about the threads, now what to do? You and your people learned about that when someone was making a war on us Czeks I couldnt see whats going on or even that we were so pushed that we could not defend, well, you must have your own German militans, how many times I asked them, they disobay! I am sorry, they disobay, your german militans, no, they have duties, as like we have duties, their main duty is not to take my money or our money, you cannot ask me money, while I have some Razputinist castle in my back, no I wont ask never ever for more money to be given to this person, did I not asked you to stop adding him to your pictures, dear Schr., he must be out of any picture I see, for his pupet of Ukraine, called stanishev I think is also involved into Berlusconi, he did things and he continue doing things that led to what led, before we were helping, anyway? I wont agree with your Briks politics, and I am going to write this down here, that you with your marriage support China and Medvedevism, that I wont support, I wont support here nor anywhere, this marriage is an offence to you yourself with this claim for coronary-arterial viruses in ?pandemic around the Earth, this is not ture, it is a medical falsification and offence, it as an offence to you, as your name is a Heart (read), it is an offence, and you should have divorced someone who is bearing the offence of origine, sorry, no her appologize can make difference to the 3! years made offence on us, your Germanic management, or to you, why didn't you divorced even !a year ago, when I asked. I asked, they didn't tell you, well, you have given money again to those who disobey. It is bad that when you give money to those who disobey and are not well paying or connected because of such with your management things like this to Berlusconi happen, but Medvedev is ok with what happen, now you have to divorce not only for the reasons of this coronary offence but for Briks politics reasons as Berlusconi is friend of yours that I tried to support but he had or still have enemies among those, who many are Russians, that have no problem with any coronary nonsence, they make more politics, but politics is not real Russian politics, this is some sort of razputinism, that is sectarianism, and we catholics are tormented by them, a lot. I like China or japan, but on political level, honestly with your name this is an offence what you have from China. And your wife is Chinese, I asked you to divorce one year ago when I learned about that your wife is Chinese? You asked me, to come around, and tell, so I am telling you, it has been a whole year, of these who wont tell you about that she is offending you? And they didnt find a divorce lawyer in germany that I asked many times for. Honestly, I thought it is a bigger country, but now, even, I'd think of it as big as UK, it is not very easy to find a divorce lawyer in UK, without a doubt.

German politics matters

I believe German politics matter, but only when it is German politics, you know that I don't believe in the current chancellor, anyway, thats for now. Bye :} --94.155.134.74 (talk) 10:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
