Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has come under increasing criticism. His wife wants to resist. She posted a post on her Instagram channel – which, however, caused outrage.
DrThe wife of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (Social Democratic Party) once again commented on the controversy surrounding her husband and his involvement in Russia. However, the specific message remained unclear at first. Soyeon Schröder-Kim posted a drawing to Instagram on Wednesday.
The photo shows two men on a plank placed over a scaffold. One man is about to push the other off the board. A work that would also bring him to the depths. “Some people don’t realize the consequences of their actions,” the graphic reads.
The Instagram post raised questions. One user asked “I’d only be interested in what you want to tell us?” Schroeder Kim also seems to have noticed the confusion. And after publication she added the comment: “SPD at work or …”
Schroeder Kim would like to say that the SPD would hurt itself if it expelled former chancellor Schröder from the party or further impeached him. The former leader of the Social Democratic Party has been under pressure since the beginning of the Russian offensive on Ukraine. He acts as a lobbyist for the natural gas pipeline companies Nord Stream 1 and 2 and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian oil company Rosneft.
Despite significant criticism, including from the SPD leadership, Schroeder does not wish to resign from his posts. A local SPD assembly has already applied to expel Schroeder’s party.
This isn’t Schroeder’s wife Kim’s first Instagram post to be annoying. After her husband’s trip to Moscow and a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Schroeder Kim last week posted a photo of herself with her hands closed and her eyes closed, with St Basil’s Cathedral on Moscow’s Red Square in the background.
She had previously tried to protect her husband. At the beginning of March Wrote The 54-year-old: “I am appalled by the rashness of the SPD in leadership but also in the many organizations essential to campaign against my husband, especially by Springer Publishing (WELT also belongs to Axel Springer SE, editor’s note) .to support.”
