Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) recently rebuked opponents of the war with harsh words – eXXpress reports: Peace activists are “fallen angels from hell”, he explained on Friday at an election campaign event in Munich, because They will “finally speak up for” a war monger.” Scholz addressed the protesters present. A banner read “For a ceasefire and peace talks”. Online outrage about the chancellor ran high.
It now turns out that Scholz may have had the same view as his current critics shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began.
A man signs a peace dove made of wood, along with his party colleagues Saskia Esken, Kevin Kuhnert and more than 90 other SPD MPs. That was in March 2022.
At the time, the SPD party newspaper “Vorwärts” proudly reported: “The SPD member of the Bundestag, Anke Hennig, initiated this special campaign together with the artist Mika Springwald. Springwald is currently promoting peace in Ukrainian national colors through the Federal Republic of K’s self-made doves have been ‘flying’. Hennig says this means they are ‘in my constituency in Osnabrücker Land’ at various demonstrations and events. Selfies with the dove of peace are also shared on social media .
What would Scholz do if one of the peace activists appeared with this pigeon at an SPD election campaign event?
