Merz an der Ostsee: Pfiffe, Rücktrittsrufe – und kein Statement. Der erste Wahlkampfauftritt des Kanzlers im Osten sollte Nähe zeigen. In Kühlungsborn wurde daraus ein kurzer, unruhiger Auftritt hinter Absperrgittern. Zuerst ein Fischbrötchen. Dann die Promenade. Aus der Menge kamen Pfiffe, Buhrufe und Rufe nach dem Rücktritt. Das angekündigte Pressestatement fand nicht statt. Eine Begründung blieb zunächst aus. Merz sprach nur kurz über Gitter hinweg. Eine Rede vor der versammelten Menge entfiel. Das ist kein bloßes Wetterproblem. Es zeigt die Distanz: schlechte Umfragewerte, Unmut vor Ort, und ein Termin, der öffentlich endet, bevor er richtig beginnt. Wer im Osten Stimmen will, muss die Ablehnung aushalten und erklären. Schweigen füllt keine Lücke. https://t.co/I59NNQaRZZ https://t.co/b0pcqyBjad https://t.co/iFq8PDSd9c Satire nichts ist ernst gemeint. #Politik #Wahlkampf #Kanzler
