Lindner wedding: punks at the bachelorette party go to the wrong location
Some punks had
already announced their visit to
hamburg24 in advance.
like the
picture
now reported, 35 punks actually made their way on Friday evening, but to the wrong place.
Because the crowd was stopped by the police in front of the Keitum luxury hotel "Severin's", where Lindner and Lehfeldt are staying.
So the wedding guests in “Kaamps7” had their peace.
At the beginning of July, demonstrations against luxury vacations were called on Sylt.
9-euro ticket tourists called for disturbing the idyll.
As
taz.de
reports, hardly anyone came to the registered 100-person protest train.
Lindner wedding: the church was blocked hours before the wedding
The highlight is to follow on Saturday afternoon: the church wedding in the St. Severin Church in Keitum of Finance Minister Christian Lindner and the journalist Franca Lehfeldt.
Around 140 guests are expected.
The ceremony does not seem to be classic, as the
picture
reports.
Lindner and Lehfeldt are both no longer in the evangelical church.
Philosopher Peter Sloterdijk is to deliver the wedding speech.
The church has been closed to churchgoers and tourists since Saturday morning due to the spectacle.
Police cars and officials are said to have spread out on site.
According to information from
t-online,
the wedding should take place around 2 p.m.
Ilka Besssin has already criticized the high state expenditures for the security of the politician's wedding.
The wedding waltz that follows could then also be more of a relaxed dance to a mix of pop and electronic music, according to
Bild
.
And the last name?
Franca Lehfeldt seems to have changed her mind.
At first it was said on paper that her name would be Lindner, but she would continue to appear as Franca Lehfeldt.
On Thursday at the wedding, however, it was clear: the name Franca Lehfeldt will remain official, the
picture
reported .
Lindner's ministerial post probably prevented the actual wedding plans.
