- Hundreds of people demonstrated against the federal government's corona measures in Stuttgart
- As a star guest of the demo of the alliance "Quer Think 711" was this time a soccer world champion
- Ex-FCB star Thomas Berthold railed against Chancellor Angela Merkel
Stuttgart - Usually footballers don't get lost in politics . Not even ex-kickers who recently hoped for a place on the supervisory board of a Bundesliga club *. In this respect, this performance on Saturday afternoon was perhaps not the best idea of all.
Thomas Berthold was on the stage as the star guest of the demo by the alliance " lateral thinking 711 " against the corona measures of the federal government in Stuttgart and spoke there on a stage in front of hundreds of corona deniers. According to express.de , the world champion from 1990 is said to have been disappointed with politics in Germany.
Berthold is said to have said on stage that his trust in the political leadership of this country has reached below zero . This statement was not well received by VfB fans on Twitter. After all, the former Swabian defender, who wore the shirt with the chest ring between 1993 and 2001, actually wanted to sit on the Stuttgart supervisory board.
Corona deniers? World champion Thomas Berthold railed against Merkel's politics at a demo
“I never want to see or hear Thomas Berthold in connection with VfB again,” wrote the blog from Cannstatt on Twitter.
I never want to see or hear Thomas Berthold again in connection with VfB.
Incomprehensible. #VfB https://t.co/wtqRhL3gdl
Another user was not surprised at the appearance of Berthold, who also wore the FC Bayern jersey between 1991 and 1993 .
The fact that Thomas #Berthold only tells confused Stuss about #VfB is nothing new. That he has now gone under the "lateral thinking" oath Nazis is somehow not surprising, but it is still as frightening as it is shameful.
Fortunately, we were spared the clown in AR. https://t.co/w4B1lV5oXA
It is difficult to imagine that Berthold will still have a great future at VfB Stuttgart after his appearance at the Corona deniers.
In the past, Thomas Berthold would have simply crouched in the stands until the end of the pandemic. #FC Bayern

#Hellohello Thomas Berthold swallowed a chip
- Rolf Fuhrmann (@Hello_Rollo) August 8, 2020The conspiracy theorists must first find out who Thomas Berthold is, because so far he has only appeared in the mainstream media.
- Günter Klein (@ guek62) August 8, 2020In the past, Berthold was often noticed by polarizing statements. However, most of them were related to sports. His foray into politics should now also cause a stir - but probably not meet with a positive response. (smk) * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen-Digital network
