Strack-Zimmermann, Germany’s Liberal Democratic Party’s leading candidate in the European elections, has often castigated the chancellor for his hesitant approach to sending military aid to Ukraine.
“You can’t reach him because he is obviously self-righteous,” Strack-Zimmermann said, adding that even the chancellor’s party colleagues think so.
She accused Scholz of copying his predecessor Angela Merkel and basing his policies on polls, doing only what is popular with the public.
“He shapes his policies exclusively based on polls,” Strack-Zimmermann said. It’s not a politician’s job to tell people what they want to hear, she said, “but to shape policy and explain it to fellow citizens.”
Strack-Zimmermann didn’t stop there, also attacking the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
If German voters vote for the Christian Democrats, she warns, “they will have Ursula von der Leyen and nothing will change in Brussels.”
But if they vote for Strack-Zimmermann’s FDP, people can expect “less bureaucracy and a stronger Europe in an increasingly complicated world”, she promised.
