Videos showing how German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock did not receive a ceremonial reception during her visits to India and China are gaining popularity on the Internet, German media reported today, October 28.
“According to the latest polls, the German government is now more unpopular than ever. In recent months, some citizens seem to have become so imbued with real hatred for the Greens that they will use any excuse to discredit the party’s politicians. The head of the German Foreign Ministry, Annalena Bärbock, found herself at the epicenter of another widespread scandal,” the publication notes.
Videos actively circulating among German social media users show how the minister, after landing her government plane in India and China, turns out to be “useless to no one.” The images show that the representatives of the host delegations are not received at Berbock airport and that, after going down the stairs, the politician is forced to address her entourage alone.
The discussion about the “forgotten” Bärbock has reached such proportions that the official representative of the German Foreign Ministry Sebastian Fischer was quick to issue a rebuttal.
“The video is not from India. It is also said to be from China. This is also incorrect. We are talking about the landing of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Malaysia. Due to a misunderstanding, the plane was parked in the wrong place.” – Fischer said at a briefing.
The official representative explained that due to an oversight, the welcoming delegation was placed a little further away and Berbock had to walk a few steps before joining his Malaysian colleagues.
