Armin Laschet, Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia needs to stop joking and take action now

After the biggest man-made disaster in Europe this century, Armin Laschet still refuses to take immediate climate protection measures. You are a candidate for chancellor and prime minister. Instead of reacting appropriately, you ridicule the victims while our Federal President delivers a funeral oration. The climate catastrophe is no joke. It kills people. Right now is the time to turn the tide. Act now! more see e.g.: “Catastrophe Laschet,” heckled Thomas Stegh, a climate activist with the group Parents for Future Germany. “I think it’s okay to show support to the area, but in the end it’s some kind of a PR stunt, as always,” he said. “He’s always taking a lot about future climate targets,” he said of Laschet, a possible successor to Merkel. “But it’s not enough. It’s all talk, little action.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/germany-floods-dead-missing/2021/07/17/a2233b6c-e673-11eb-88c5-4fd6382c47cb_story.html While visiting the devastated town of Erftstadt, where an eroded gravel quarry had swallowed cars, bits of road and entire buildings, Laschet was on Saturday caught sharing jokes with bystanders while the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, solemnly addressed the cameras. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/18/germany-floods-armin-laschet-cdu-apologises-for-joking
