Un nou scandal la Berlin. Fostul cancelar, Gerhard Schröder, criticat aspru din cauza vizitei la Vladimir Putin. Merz se declară „profund indignat” de această întâlnire

Friedrich Merz, the current Chancellor of Germany, expressed strong disapproval of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's visit to Vladimir Putin, emphasizing that only Putin is responsible for the war in Ukraine. Merz's spokesperson described the meeting as "immoral" given the ongoing suffering caused by the conflict. Schröder's ties to Putin and his recent visit, which was not communicated to German authorities, have sparked outrage across German political parties. While some, like SPD's Ralf Stegner, argue that Schröder could facilitate dialogue, many others condemn his actions as unacceptable, especially in light of the war's impact on Ukraine.
