Friedrich Merz: Sandra Maischberger waves him around on his face

“How do you bring Germany back?” Was the title of the “Maischberger” edition in the first, to which Sandra Maischberger had invited Friedrich Merz as the only guest. But before it dealt with this very fundamental question, the Federal Chancellor of a little troublemaker had to defend himself.

In the middle of the conversation about the decision of Bundestag President Julia Klöckner not to let the rainbow flag on Christopher Street Day blow on the Bundestag, a little fly around his nose. Moderator Maischberger was immediately on hand and shit the animal with her moderation cards.

“There is a studio fly and it is with them,” said Maischberger. “I don’t know, she likes it today clearly than me. Usually she is always with me.” Merz himself stayed calm and thanked him: “But that’s very lovingly from them.” Maischberger then assured: “She just shouldn’t fly her mouth.” Afterwards, moderator and guest have briefly caught a scene in which Barack Obama is said to have caught a fly.

But not only the uninvited studio guest caused irritation in the show. Merz reacted in the event when Maischberger appeals to his favorite hobby: flying. He does not have to do without this as head of government, says the Chancellor. “Who should forbid me?” Maischberger: “The security.” Merz: “I am and remain a free person.”

But when Maischberger confronted him with the fact that the former SPD boss Saskia Esken criticized his view from private pilot to the world as withdrawn, Merz became Sauer: “Ms. Maischberger, do we want to continue the show? Maischberger: “We do both.”
