Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has come under criticism for pledged her support for Ukraine - regardless of the opinion of voters in Germany. The AfD and the left accused the Green politician of disregarding the will of the voters. Criticism also came from the CDU, on Twitter #BaerbockReturn was one of the most used hashtags in Germany on Thursday.
The reason was statements that Baerbock had made the day before at a panel discussion in Prague. There the minister explained in English that she had promised the Ukrainians to support them for as long as necessary and that she therefore wanted to deliver - regardless of what her German voters think about it ("no matter what my German voters think"). .
The AfD chairwoman Alice Weidel then called for Baerbock's resignation: "Anyone who expressly gives a whistle on the interests of the voters in Germany has no place in a ministerial office," Weidel wrote on Twitter.
The Bundestag member Sevim Dagdelen from the left criticized in the same place that a foreign minister who acted according to the motto "Ukraine first, citizens don't care" was a "total failure".
The CDU foreign politician Norbert Röttgen wrote on Twitter of "sham heroism" because the majority of Germans were ready to support Ukraine. "Democratic politicians must try to convince others with good arguments and not with basta."
