Critics ask whether Putin is using Gerhard Schröder to humiliate Germany
Original: Ob # GerhardSchröder bewusst ist, dass # Putin ihn benutzt, um # Deutschland und die # EU zu demütigen? Nun, er ist 82.
Former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, 82, is again the subject of criticism over his ties to Vladimir Putin. Commenters ask whether he realizes he is being used by the Kremlin to embarrass Germany and the EU, with some suggesting age should disqualify him from public roles. Schröder has long been a lightning rod for maintaining his friendship with Putin after leaving office, and the debate over his conduct continues to flare in German political discussion.
Why now: Fresh coverage and commentary on Schröder's ongoing closeness to Putin have reignited criticism of the ex-chancellor.
