Armin Laschet was heavily criticized for his laughing fit in the disaster area. Now he was remorseful on television.
North Rhine-Westphalia’s Prime Minister Armin Laschet described his laugh as inappropriate and inappropriate during a speech by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in the flood area. “I was out all day, there were emotional encounters that really shook me. And that’s why I’m all the more annoyed about these few seconds,” said the Union’s candidate for chancellor on Sunday evening of the “Current Hour” on WDR television. “That was inappropriate, it’s not okay to laugh at a moment like this.”
“I’m angry about it”
CDU politician Laschet was criticized for joking and laughing on Saturday during a joint visit with Steinmeier in Erftstadt, while the Federal President remembered those who lost a lot in the flood. In the evening Laschet regretted the impression on Twitter that “arose from a conversation” (read more about the incident here).
He now explained to Im that he hadn’t understood a word of what the Federal President had said. “But it is still inappropriate, inappropriate at such a moment. I am angry about it and I am sincerely sorry because I am currently experiencing a lot of suffering and have spoken to so many people and I want to express this regret with all my might.”
