Luisa Neubauer’s sharp criticism of Armin Laschet and Hans-Georg Maaßen is still causing discussions. Now the anti-Semitism officer has expressed himself.
Berlin – The appearance of Luisa Neubauer from “Fridays for Future” at Anne Will caused a lot of discussion. Climate activist Neubauer had made CDU boss Armin Laschet serious allegations on the ARD broadcast. She confronted the Union’s candidate for chancellor with the fact that he had not spoken out against the nomination of the controversial former President of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Hans-Georg Maaßen, after he had been nominated as a direct candidate for the Bundestag in southern Thuringia.
“In this way you legitimize racist and anti-Semitic content, embodied in moderation,” explained Neubauer in the talk group. Armin Laschet countered that he did not know anything about concrete anti-Semitic content. “If that is him, I will act, I do not know the lyrics,” he emphasized CDU boss at Anne Will. Now the Federal Government’s Anti-Semitism Commissioner has also spoken out.
