SPIEGEL:
Ms. Eisenmann, you want to score as a clear text politician.
"Diplomacy is something for the foreign policy parquet," you once said.
Can you win such an election?
Eisenmann:
It's not a concept that any consultant recommended to me.
I am so.
Very easily.
I was involved in local politics for a long time, and then I saw that there was too much talk and nothing said.
I believe that people appreciate an honest word.
SPIEGEL:
You like to accuse your opponents of “nonsense” or “refusal to work” at your own party leadership.
Is politics too smooth for you?
Eisenmann:

It's just very convenient to be smooth.
Everything that is not fully mainstream is being attacked in the worst possible way, especially on the Internet.
This ensures that many politicians want to attract as little attention as possible, true to the motto: the less profile, the better.
I believe the opposite is true.
SPIEGEL:
Are women politicians who speak plainly perceived differently than their male colleagues?
