Boris Pistorius is popular as defence minister – but internally, anger against him is growing. His military service model is being heavily criticised. What does his future look like?
Boris Pistorius sits in a corner of his hotel in Washington, DC, and does what he almost always has to do these days: He waits.
It is Thursday evening last week, the NATO summit has just ended. The defense minister is playing on his cell phone. The internet is down. The mood is about to leave. The minister has spent two days at the summit sitting in cold conference rooms, now he just wants to go home, but the flight doesn’t leave for another three hours. The chancellor, with whom he wants to travel home, is still busy.
So Pistorius has to wait. He, of all people, Mr. Impatient, for whom nothing can happen fast enough in politics, has to constantly practice patience.
