Update, 9:25 p.m.: To conclude, it is about the connections of the family of his wife Susanne Laschet * in the free economy and the political celebrities of his hometown Aachen.

To put it into perspective: Susanne Laschet, born in 1962, is the niece of the long-time Mayor of Aachen, Kurt Malangré.

Father Heinz (died 2017) was also a well-known director and manager of the local glass industry and for many years chairman of the Aachen Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

And it's about Armin Laschet's relationships from his student days with Catholic connections and later with their graduates.

A 25-year-old student claims that the CDU candidate for chancellor only got to certain positions through these contacts.

And that even before he started working as a professional politician.

Furthermore, such fraternities would exclude women and she therefore finds herself excluded as a woman.

The young woman from Berlin further asks whether Armin Laschet, as Chancellor, would set himself apart from such fraternities.

“Why should you differentiate yourself from it?” He asks her, seeming quite confused: “During your studies, that is a group that you meet outside of the technical field.” There are “so many groups” in society, he says keep going and lose the concept.

“What you said touches me, hurts me,” said the CDU politician to the student: “If the family is then drawn into it.

I ask you to believe what I have brought in as a personal achievement, often around the clock. "
