Residents of Saxony booed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz after he came to their region wearing rubber boots. Der Spiegel magazine writes about this. According to the publication, people did not like that the chancellor was trying to make political points on their problem.
The lands of Saxony have been flooded for several days. Scholz had previously visited Lower Saxony and arrived there in somewhat inappropriate shoes. and now put on boots. Local residents did not understand this fraternization. They shouted to Scholtz, “Go away.”
Flooding in Saxony is increasing. The water continues to rise and the region fears the dam will break. In Verdun, houses are already being washed away and people have to be evacuated.
