Armin Laschet presents himself as a fair loser and praises the government-forming parties SPD, Greens and FDP for their calition negotiations.
The failed Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet has congratulated the SPD, Greens and FDP on the conclusion of their coalition talks.
“Congratulations to the traffic light coalition, especially on the style and form of the negotiations,” wrote the CDU chairman on Twitter.
«Confidentiality is an important prerequisite for trust. The Union also has to learn that again. ” It is a pity, however, that the future government partners would have dispensed with a digitization ministry and a national security council.
On Twitter, many people paid Laschet respect for his speech – including representatives of the traffic light parties. «This is how fair opposition works. Hats off, ”tweeted Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD). The Green politician Cem Özdemir wrote: «This is how style works! Thanks for the fairness, dear Armin Laschet. Your successor must be measured by this way of dealing with democrats. “
