Brazilian authorities on Tuesday railed against comments by Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz in which he appeared to look down on Belem, a city on the edge of the Amazon rainforest where the United Nations’ Climate Summit is taking place.
“We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Last week I asked some journalists who were with me in Brazil: Which of you would like to stay here? No one raised their hand,” Merz said. “They were all happy that, above all, we returned from this place to Germany in the night from Friday to Saturday.”
Well, drawing that conclusion from the answer to “who would stay here?” is a bit short, huh? Maybe they still want to be somewhere else than Germany but not in Brazil? And maybe they just have families and friends back home. Should’ve asked “who thinks Germany is one of the most beautiful countries in the world?” and count the raised hands. Probably zero as well. And no Brazilian would be pissed.
Merz is an idiot once again, more investigative news at 12.
Another useful idiot T_T
No suprise here. Merz is and will always be an egocentrical opportunist. He’s been spouting populist garbage since his campaign in an increasingly unsuccessful effort to steal votes from the fascist AfD.
He’s already been making headlines in Germany for saying extra-racist shit about German cities that sounds suspiciously similar to nazi-era anti-jewish propaganda.
