In his habitual attempt to criticize public service broadcasting, the leader of the FDP has vehemently launched a polemic, the core of which, if there were a left-wing movement to be taken seriously in this country, has the potential for a larger debate. Lindner had suggested linking the salary of the directors to that of the federal chancellor and to limit accordingly: ARD, ZDF, Deutschlandfunk, Phoenix and all the regional rest – all bosses then earned at most as much as Olaf Scholz.
