An activist tried to storm the stage during a performance by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) at the Catholic Day in Stuttgart on Friday.
However, he was prevented from doing so by security forces and taken away.
Another activist shouted "bullshit" when Scholz was talking about phasing out coal-fired power generation and the jobs that would be lost in opencast mining as a result.
Stuttgart – Scholz commented on the action mockingly, saying that he was not experiencing it “always from the same people” for the first time, it was a “acting performance”.
This is not a discussion, "but it is an attempt to manipulate events for your own purposes".
Scholz received thunderous applause for this.
