Among the classified material are reports related to the G7 summit held at the Bavarian castle of Elmau in late June. was held
Are the Scholz more relaxed? The question is now the talk of the German media and social networks, as the weekly magazine ‘Der Spiegel’ revealed this weekend that neighbors of the German chancellor retrieved from the dustbin of his childhood home, in Potsdam, a series of official documents cataloged as ‘classified information’. That is, clearly confidential. Among them were reports of the summit of the G7, the group of seven industrial powers that brought together Scholz, United States President Joe Biden, at the Bavarian castle of Elmau in late June; Frenchman Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, as well as leaders of Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom. The agenda of the meeting, also attended by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, dealt with the efforts to provide a joint response by the seven powerful Russia to the energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine and the fight against climate change.
According to ‘Der Spiegel’, the Chancellor’s wife, Britta Ernst, a veteran politician, social democrat like her husband and Minister of Education in the ‘country’ Brandenburg, was responsible for ending up at the Scholz trash can in Potsdam . of which Potsdam is the capital. It is precisely the couple who have their family home in that city, 40 kilometers from Berlin, because of Ernst’s position in that regional government.
The Elmau summit was one of the few occasions when Scholz’s wife was seen as the first lady or wife of the head of government of the first European power. Ernst follows his own agenda of public events. He is a political figure on a regional scale and unknown to many of his compatriots. She shares a rather discreet profile with her husband, including since Scholz came to power in December 2021.
The question of how such carelessness could happen in a country where the treatment -and separation- of waste is a kind of social dogma surrounds the pair with professional politicians and with extensive filming. Inconceivable, in the times of Chancellor Angela Merkel, it is commented on social networks. That is, the conservative leader from whom Scholz was vice-chancellor and finance minister in his last term, and from whom the current head of the German government has inherited some patterns of behavior, despite coming from different political families.
‘Der Spiegel’ recalls in its information that the Scholz have at least failed to meet the standard for the treatment of documents classified as ‘officially secret’ or ‘confidential’, which requires their contents to be rendered unreadable before they are deleted.
