Bärbel Bas stops her work. She was the minister for work. She was also the boss of the party named SPD.
She stops both jobs now. A death is one reason. Her stepdaughter is dead. Bärbel Bas needs time to be sad.
There is a second reason. Other politicians say bad things about Bärbel Bas. These attacks come from partners in the government. This is the union of CDU and CSU.
Bärbel Bas says: I do not have enough power now. The work for the government is very hard. The work for the party is hard too.
She tells Lars Klingbeil about her step. He is the other boss of the SPD. She tells the head of the country too. He must take her out of the job.
Bärbel Bas stays in the parliament. She keeps her mandate. She works on as a politician for the people.
