Chancellor candidate Laschet reacts irritably to the critical questions of the WDR presenter. “Because now is such a day, you don’t change politics,” he says. But did he also call her “young woman”?
Düsseldorf – After an interview by WDR presenter Susanne Wieseler with Armin Laschet, there is a debate on Twitter under the hashtag #JungeFrau.
Many users believe they hear the NRW Prime Minister and CDU boss Laschet say “Sorry, young woman” in the heated dialogue with the moderator and criticize this as inappropriate. Wieseler himself took Laschet under protection with several tweets and wrote: “However: I do not even hear that he is really saying that.”

The CDU boss rejected the accusation in Düsseldorf: “The sentence was not uttered. Incidentally, it is not part of my linguistic usage either, and the moderator has made that clear herself in the meantime. ”He left open what Laschet had said instead.
On Friday morning, Wieseler commented on the interpretation of the “Spiegel” journalist Markus Feldenkirchen that Laschet simply spoke Rhenish and perhaps forgot her name because of the “good, sharp interview” with: “That’s how I see it – and I hope that this one there is a causal connection. “
Laschet, the Union’s candidate for chancellor, was connected to the WDR program “Current Hour” to talk about the flood disaster. The interview immediately turned to climate protection, and Laschet reacted irritably to Wieseler’s questions. dpa
