About this person
Günter Gaus was a prominent German journalist-commentator who became a diplomat and a regional politician in Berlin. Once he had moved on - as he probably assumed, permanently - from the worlds of print journalism and television, in 1976 Günter Gaus joined the Social Democratic Party. The party's leader, Willy Brandt, was a close political ally and a friend. Gaus let it be known that he had resigned his party membership towards the end of 2001, after Chancellor Schröder had incautiously - and "without consulting the party" - pledged "unconditional/unlimited solidarity" with the United States of America during the build-up to that year's United States invasion of Afghanistan.
