Federal Minister of the Interior: Seehofer trusts Scholz to be a good chancellor

Quite benevolent words come from the Union about Olaf Scholz’s chancellor skills. Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer becomes clear.

According to Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, Olaf Scholz (SPD) has the skills to become a good chancellor.

When asked whether he would trust him to do the job, the CSU politician said “Bild am Sonntag”: “Yes. I know Olaf Scholz very well and have worked with him as Minister of Finance in the cabinet. Despite all the political differences, Mr. Scholz is one of those politicians whom I appreciate very much because of their seriousness. Seriousness in politics is essential, also for security in the country. “

Seehofer: “Got in our way”

Seehofer said that he would also have trusted Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet. “Due to the disagreement in the Union, however, we stood in our own way.” He warned the Union to develop new ideas in the opposition. “In any case, as a Union, I would not rely on the fragile tectonics of the three coalition partners in the traffic light. We have to make opposition with good ideas and not with general statements. It doesn’t help to warn against slipping to the left. “

Seehofer does not want to get involved in this process: “I will continue to cultivate my political contacts from a human point of view. But not in public, ”said Seehofer. “I don’t want to appear as an old white man who knows everything better.” The Bavarian ex-prime minister will soon withdraw from politics.
