Within a very short time, Boris Pistorius has risen to become the most popular German politician. How did he do it? An attempt at an explanation.
He said yes right away. When the Chancellor called him on a Sunday in mid-January and asked if he wanted to become defense minister, Boris Pistorius didn’t hesitate for a second. If you are offered this position, there is nothing to think about, Pistorius later said.
It is said to have happened in a similar way when Stephan Weil asked the then mayor of Osnabrück ten years ago to move to Hanover as his interior minister. A firm yes, what else.
