Ramelow follows his “Merkelchen” ridicule.
Likewise, that he probably likes to play around during corona crisis talks.
Now the criticism of Thuringia's Prime Minister comes really thick.

is
under fire
for a belittling remark about Chancellor
Angela Merkel (CDU)
.
He is also
resented
playing smartphone games
during important
corona consultations
.
CSU General Secretary
Markus Blume is
now even bringing
the Thuringian Prime Minister's
resignation
into play.
Berlin - The "Candy Crush" scandal about Thuringia's Prime Minister
Bodo Ramelow
is now really
going round
!
CDU * General Secretary Paul Ziemiak considers the Left * politician to be
"obviously not suitable"
to take part in
corona crisis summits
with Chancellor Angela Merkel *.
"Words fail me - that is completely unacceptable," he told the
picture
.
CSU * Secretary General
Markus Blume
will be even sharper
.
In an interview with the newspaper, he even suggested that Ramelow
resign
.
"If he wants to tell us that he is tired of his office, then he should simply resign, then he has a lot of time to play." Ziemiak demanded: "He should apologize to his colleagues and especially to the population of Thuringia. "
Ramelow had announced that he had played
"Candy Crush"
on his smartphone
during the previous federal-state consultations
.
Ironically, in one round in the currently hyped iPhone app
“Clubhouse”
, he had this admission.
He
has already apologized on Twitter for speaking
of
“Merkelchen”
at “Clubhouse”
.
Ramelow quite frankly on "Clubhouse" - a blow against the culture of debate on the app?
The app lives from the fact that participants
exchange ideas
orally
- either like in a conference call or also to listen to lectures.
A
video feature
does not exist.
Thousands of such rooms are available for this - many
celebrities also
talk in the app.
Perhaps because the environment is more informal, observers believe - and some have already suspected that Ramelow's mistake could have damaged this culture of debate to a certain extent and that people from public life are now paying more attention to what they think of "clubhouse" say.
At the beginning of 2020, in
Corona *
year
number one, “Clubhouse” came onto the market.
As recently as last May, the app only had around 1,500 users, now there are almost
two million
and the number is rapidly increasing.
In the Apple * App, it is currently number one for downloads in the “social networks” category.
It has the touch of the exclusive: You can only get in by personal invitation from an already registered user, the app is currently not available for Android.
According to the manufacturers, this version should be tackled soon.
