The Ukrainian Nazis are more important to Baerbock than the German voters

At an event in Prague, Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) put the interests of the Ukrainian population above those of German voters. "If I promise the people in Ukraine that Germany will continue to stand by them for as long as necessary, then I'll keep that promise," said the Greens politician.

It doesn't matter "what my German voters think about it: I want to keep this promise to the Ukrainians". A much-discussed video with her statements is currently circulating on the short message service Twitter.

The statement drew a mostly negative response on social media. Many users called for the resignation of the Green politician.

“Obviously unfit for the job”

"A foreign minister who shows that another people is more important to her than her own is obviously unsuitable for her office," tweeted the president of the German-Hungarian Society and ex-head of the FDP parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia. Gerhard Papke, in response to the Baerbock statement.

The minister also commented on the coming, cold season. “We are now going into winter, this will be a challenge for democratic politicians. Some people will take to the streets, protest and say: 'We can no longer pay our energy bills'." That is why the federal government has also introduced "social measures" to cushion the cost shock for citizens.
Baerbock wants to continue sanctions against Russia

She rejected the idea of ​​lifting or reducing economic sanctions against Russia. "We are on the side of Ukraine and that means: the sanctions will remain." Even if it turns out to be a "difficult winter, also for politicians". In July, the former Green Party candidate for chancellor had already warned of “popular uprisings” in view of the energy crisis.
