The decision also comes amid mounting public attacks\nagainst her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the death of my stepdaughter, I realised that I needed time to\ncome to terms with my grief,\u201d Bas said in a statement released on Monday\n(12 October 2026), as quoted by Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Bas, who is responsible for much of Germany\u2019s welfare system, also\nhighlighted the growing pressure and intensifying public criticism,\nincluding attacks from the SPD\u2019s conservative coalition partners.<\/p>\n<p>German Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, who leads\nthe SPD alongside Bas, condemned the attacks on his colleague,\nparticularly while she was in mourning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attacks on her during the past few days of mourning were\ninappropriate. That is unacceptable,\u201d Klingbeil said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear who will replace Bas in the SPD leadership and in\nthe German government.<\/p>\n<p>Although she is leaving both posts, Bas said she would retain her\nparliamentary mandate. No further information has been provided on when\nher resignation will take effect or on the process for appointing her\nsuccessor.<\/p>",
