Olaf Scholz makes his wife a touching declaration of love

In an interview, Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed unusually openly about his marriage to Britta Ernst. In the podcast of the weekly magazine “Zeit”, he reported, among other things, about the beginnings of the relationship. At first he did not want to believe that Britta was interested in him, “because she was and is so great. he.

When asked how he as a politician deals with the enormous pressure and criticism, Scholz had the following tip ready: “There must be a life next to it in which you don’t take it.” The panacea is very simply named: “Love is the most important thing. And that helps. Always,” added the Chancellor.

With regard to the upcoming Bundestag election on February 23, the Chancellor may not be so honest in view of the election surveys. He “naturally” expected to continue to rule after the election, he said. But even in the podcast, the Federal Chancellor remained partially in campaign mode.

Then Scholz became more credible again: a deselection could not personally throw him off the track. In this case, he will “sleep in again” or hike with his wife “, to concerts, very rarely to the cinema, to the theater”. He will “already know how to deal and have a good life with my wife,” said Scholz.

Of course, the detailed conversation was mainly about political and the past week of the Bundestag. The incumbent Federal Chancellor again warned of a possible Chancellor Friedrich Merz, whom he apparently does not trust. Merz will be after the federal election “After Pro-Forma talks with the SPD or the Greens “, in the end with the AfD:” In October, for example. So it went in Austria with the FPÖ. “

Merz, on the other hand, only emphasized again on Sunday that, as the future head of government, he will categorically exclude cooperation with the AfD. He had “really said very clearly and very clearly several times: We will not be able to cooperate with the AfD. We are fighting for political majorities in the broad middle of our democratic spectrum,” said the Union Chancellor candidate when visiting the hall for the election party congress in Berlin.
