In a “speech to the people”, Gerhard Pöttler, national manager of the List of People, Freedom and Fundamental Rights (MFG), addressed the public via YouTube video a week ago. Because large parts of the statements made in it are almost literally reminiscent of the farewell speech of a now deceased German vice-chancellor, Pöttler could now have an aftermath.
“Let’s be brave” – this was the motto under which Pöttler published a “speech to the people” on YouTube last Saturday. Apparently he himself was brave in formulating his content. Large parts of the approximately three-and-a-half-minute video can be found almost verbatim in the farewell speech delivered in 2011 by the late FDP politician and former German Vice-Chancellor Guido Westerwelle.
The video has been clicked on YouTube more than 4,840 times since last Saturday. Other parties at home and abroad are already reporting plagiarism because of the many similarities. At MFG, a request from “Krone” remained unanswered for the time being.
