Press reviews
The Chancellor candidates fought out the last TV triall before the federal election. What remains? A kind of “red-green cuddly halanx” and a pale Union candidate, comment the media. The press reviews.
Have Olaf Scholz, Armin Laschet and Annalena Baerbock already got used to the common Sunday evenings? For the third time, the candidate for chancellor and the candidate for the chancellor met for a TV debate. The tone of voice remained matter-of-fact, the gain in knowledge rather narrow (). “This trial will not have any major impact on the outcome of the election,” commented the “taz”. The “Süddeutsche Zeitung” also doubts that the discussion was a “decision-making aid for the undecided”. One thing, on the other hand, has become “overly clear”, says the “Welt”: “The SPD and the Greens absolutely want to govern together. Laschet is on the sidelines”. The press reviews.
“For many, there is probably only the election-O-Mat”: the media response to the final TV triad
: “Even this will not have any major impact on the election result. The third was not the worst. (…) But neither did Armin Laschet achieve the great breakout, nor did Olaf Scholz make a serious mistake. However, that was not to be expected After all, one has as little in common with John F. Kennedy as the other with Richard Nixon. Both are, for better or for worse, two average Biedermeier politicians who are closer to each other in terms of content than they should appear in the election campaign. And the third plays in the league anyway only in place. “
: “Can Laschet manage the turnaround with this triumph that the CDU and CSU have been trying to persuade for a week? (…) At least the viewers of Sat1 / Pro7 do not see it that way. But the SPD and the Greens should not be too happy – and not only because of the general questionability of lightning polls. The focus on social policy in this third and last TV triall could have a distorting effect. Laschet was also particularly badly off because he was both Scholz and Baerbock, as a kind of red-green cuddly phalanx against him (…). There are actually also many topics on which the SPD and the Greens disagree (…). None of them was discussed. “
: “One thing became clear once again through this program: the SPD and the Greens absolutely want to rule together. Laschet is on the sidelines, which – in relation to this program – was due not least to the moderation and the choice of topics. Four against one is a lot, but not fair play and no representation of reality either. The fact that Baerbock was part of this round is actually – depending on the probabilities revealed by the surveys – no longer justifiable. “
: “Unlike in the USA, the three TV confrontations were not coordinated with one another. They offered too much of the same and thus bored many, in the worst case scared off voters – a missed opportunity to cover a broader range of topics and the candidates to demand more. Even the last triall did not help to actually offer decision support for the undecided. For many there is probably only the Wahl-O-Mat. “
: “Germany seems, so one must say after these TV debates, to have no economic problems internationally and digitally, at least apparently none that are worth discussing. The relationship with other countries and the skills in information technology (and sometimes both related) did not appear in the arguments between the three candidates for chancellor. That is not primarily due to Armin Laschet or Annalena Baerbock (…). No, they were not addressed at all, not even in the third TV trio on Sunday evening. ( …) In view of the current world situation, of course, both subject areas belong at the top rather than at the bottom of the agenda. “
: “Scholz denies the hot phase of the election campaign with old SPD street thugs on pensions, housing, minimum wages. The messages are flat. But they get caught. Because Union competitor Laschet has next to none! The CDU boss is strolling through the election campaign . Laschet is too passive, he only attacks Scholz half-heartedly. And so far he has not been able to set a single important topic.
