Break of words
Karl Lauterbach makes Markus Lanz (almost) speechless – because of Friedrich Merz
Markus Lanz would like to know from Karl Lauterbach what he thinks about Friedrich Merz’s brake on the debt brake. The answer not only surprises Lanz.
Karl Lauterbach is stuck in a dilemma. With a particularly great sympathy for the CDU, the German Health Minister from the SPD has not exactly appeared in the past. But if his party and he want to stay in the federal government, it only works with the CDU. So he has to find the Union well in public, you don’t want to annoy anyone. In the current edition of his talk show, even Markus Lanz amazed what this is wearing for flowers.
Lanz spoke to the great broken word of the designated Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who promised during the election campaign: the debt brake is inviolable. Shortly after the election, he said: It is not that inviolable. With the SPD, he wants to go a new way in financial policy.
Karl Lauterbach talks about Merz at “Markus Lanz”
Since then, the accusation of voting deception has been in the room. His reasoning that the turning point was only made because of the new developments in Ukraine. star In question, according to which it was clear during the election campaign that the debt brake was wobbling, the Union should win the election.
So Markus Lanz said to Karl Lauterbach: “There will be the word broken in a way, so to speak – and you are not even in the Chancellery – as I don’t remember for so long.” How do Lauterbach do it? “So I rate things differently,” said the – and made sure for a Markus Lanz who looked as discredited as if someone had told him that his suit was not.
“Really? Is that not a break?”
“Exactly, I would see it differently.”
“I ask again: this is not a break? Is that not a political lie either?”
“As was now presented by Friedrich Merz, it is not a break because the situation has changed.”
And with that, Lauterbach followed the official saying of Friedrich Merz with Ukraine as the origin of the change of course.
Lanz still wanted to know whether Lauterbach would rate the situation as an opposition politician differently. This is released by an opposition politician, said Lauterbach. And that means we would be back on the dilemma described at the beginning.
