German Chancellor Olaf ScholzBERLIN, Apr 2 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reacted emotionally to the whistle and shouts during his speech in Essen, Germany, the Kölnische Rundschau reported on Saturday. Earlier, Scholz spoke on Saturday at a rally in the city of Essen, timed to coincide with the start of the election campaign of the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the elections in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the video, which was circulated on social networks, you can see how a group of people in the back rows of the crowd make shouts and whistles during Scholz's speech, in particular, in the words of the Chancellor that in Germany they treat both Ukrainian refugees and problems in health care «throughout the coronavirus pandemic.» At these words, the screams and whistles from a group of protesters whom the publication calls «alleged covid dissidents» grew louder, to which Scholz advised them to «speak to scream calmly,» because «this is what we are fighting for, what the citizens of Ukraine are fighting for — so that you can express your opinion without fear.» «Therefore, I do not accept the evil cynicism with which some say that one cannot express one's opinion here on this topic. It's a lie! Look back at the dictatorships of this world, then you will understand what this means,» the chancellor added.
