IOn Thursday night, Armin Laschet will not hesitate for a second. If he did not go straight to the disaster area, he might make the mistake of a lifetime. This not only runs counter to his duties as the “young” prime minister-the 60-year-old CDU chairman has only served for four years. He will also fail as a candidate for prime minister. That is not an office. But the expectations are as high as if it is the same.
This is a trauma to the CDU. Considering the flooding along the Elbe River in August of the election year, your 2002 prime minister candidate and then CSU chairman Edmund Stoiber was opposing Gerhard Schroeder’s “rubber In the “boot campaign”, I got out of my control. In fact, both of them protected their respective offices-Stoiber is the Prime Minister of Bavaria and belonged to the disaster area-from being accused of only going to the disaster area because of the photos. The shrewd Schroeder became a doer, and Stoiber became a watering poodle. The league lost the election in the last few meters.
Regarding the flood disaster, Raschelt said in Hagen: “This is not a problem you want to use to create an image.” He walks a steel rope that not every politician is given, that is, in a way that exudes charm. Make yourself visible leadership, but not so conspicuous, it looks like you just want to be seen.
Thursday is not as easy for Olaf Schultz as the father of the country. The SPD candidate for prime minister, together with Prime Minister Maru Dreyer, visited the devastated area of Ahrweiler in the Rhineland-Palatinate state as the Federal Minister of Finance. Schultz did like Schroeder, when Schroeder put the federal government’s willingness to help above everything else: “I will do everything I can to ensure that the federal government also provides financial help.”
For Annalena Baerbock, this is more difficult (or particularly easy?). She interrupted her short vacation-currently there is nothing she can do because she does not have a government office. She can only hope that the other green man in the second row will not react to Lashet’s tone recently: his policy is to be jointly responsible for natural disasters like California. As a result, the situation of the Green Party is similar to that of Raschelt, even though he is not in the Chancellery, just like Stoyer was to Schroeder. Although the Bavarians dealt with the problems related to the disaster response, to a certain extent, it is regarded as Beckmesere.
As a candidate for prime minister in his party, Raschelt only had the width of hair. Looking at the corona disaster, he seemed to want to grow into the rubber boots that Marcus Sodd put in front of him. That has changed. For this disaster, he could have found something suitable for him.
