german society: A president cannot make the world simpler than it is, the 60-year-old, approaching the end of his second stint as foreign minister, said, according to Deutsche Welle. A president must not be someone who simplifies; he must be someone who instills confidence. In his acceptance speech in Berlin, Steinmeier, who belongs to the Social Democrats SPD said he would work to create a feeling of optimistic confidence in a crisis-ridden world. He also spoke of wanting to smooth out divisions in German society by creating a fruitful political exchange. I intend to work on this without regard to party lines, but above all without regard to social divisions, to achieve a political culture in which we can have differences, but treat one another with respect. Now, everything depends on a lively, alert political culture, he said.
