At an SPD event, Chancellor Olaf Scholz found clear words about his policy in the Ukraine war in the face of a mobbed crowd.
Berlin – During the SPD's Europe Festival in Falkensee near Berlin, a group of Russia sympathizers and lateral thinkers disrupted the event. The demonstrators loudly expressed their rejection of the arms deliveries to Ukraine and the German government's stance on the Ukraine war. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reacted to this with completely unusual sharpness and more than clear words.

"If you had any brains in your brains": Scholz suffers outburst of anger
In view of the soaring popularity of right-wing populists – in one poll, the AfD achieved a record 19 percent – the chancellor has just provided an explanation for the strong popularity of the right-wing party. At the event near Berlin, he now faced eye to eye with the critics of the Ukraine government's policy, who are mainly assigned to the right-wing spectrum. About 100 participants disrupted the event of the state representative meeting of the Brandenburg SPD with whistles, warmonger shouts and mobs.
According to consistent media reports, Scholz, who is otherwise considered rather cool, reacted unusually emotionally: "Dear screamers," the chancellor raged, "the warmonger is Putin, he has invaded Ukraine with 200,000 soldiers." The Chancellor was enraged: "He is the warmonger who is shouted out by you here, if you had any sense in your brains."

"While you are shouting 'Making peace without weapons', Putin has pulled together an incredible number of tanks," Federal Chancellor Scholz continued. "We don't know how many young soldiers have already died for his dream. But it can be 100,000 to 150,000." He asks: "How can you deal with the lives of your own young people just because you want to be a great man?".

The Federal Chancellor also made it clear that he sees no alternative to supporting Ukraine, even with weapons, because of Russia's war of aggression: "Yes, this is necessary, if a country is attacked, then it must defend itself, then it may defend itself, what else?" exclaimed Scholz.
Recordings of the angry speech quickly went viral on Twitter under the hashtag #ScholzOnFire ("Scholz in flames"), the clear words received great encouragement, which should help the favor with the traffic light coalition. Satisfaction with the Scholz government recently fell to an all-time low.
