Likewise, that he probably likes to play around during corona crisis talks.

Now the criticism of Thuringia's Prime Minister comes really thick.

    resented

    playing smartphone games

    during important

    corona consultations

    .

For Thuringia's Prime Minister

Bodo Ramelow

(left), the scandal about his statements in the

Clubhouse

app is over

.

"My apology was meant seriously," said Ramelow to the

editorial network Germany

regarding his apology for calling the Chancellor "Merkelchen".

- I don't want to "justify myself now and again".

He has learned his lesson, said Ramelow.

"In future, new media skills will be measured in Ramelows."

Scandal about Thuringia's Prime Minister: Bodo Ramelow criticized for statements in the clubhouse app

First report

from January 26th, 3:40 pm:

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 thrives on 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 growing rapidly.

In the Apple * App, it is currently number one for downloads in the “social networks” category.

It has the odor 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.
