The SPD has removed Gerhard Schröder from the list of 34 33 "great social democrats" on its website.
It still includes the party's other two post-WWII Chancellors, Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt, as well as its two former post-WWII presidents, Gustav Heinemann and Johannes Rau.

He should be expelled from the party.
The way party expulsion procedures work in Germany that would happen in about ten years though. The SPD could of course initiate the party expulsion, that's something that could be done now.
lmao, Germany is so weird about party rules
But anyway yes, at least start the procedure.
