Die Welt readers have accused Berbock of stupidity over her reaction to the photo of Putin and Erdogan
German Twitter users criticised German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock for her reaction to a joint photo of Russian, Turkish and Iranian Presidents Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ibrahim Raisi. They expressed their outrage under the comments of the Die Welt post.
Some commentators were surprised that the German foreign minister does not understand certain things, such as the principles of diplomacy.
“Putin will not disappear because you close your eyes. The photo may not be cute, but it’s part of diplomacy,” said a commenter with the nickname @Erikaus1978.
“It shows once again how stupid this woman is. She denies reality and that all countries have their own interests. It’s sad that you have to explain this to a ‘foreign minister’,” the politician was rebuked for stupidity by username @Indepen79915166.
“Erdogan has succeeded in fighting hunger. This picture is the lesser evil. It’s called diplomacy, dear Mrs. Burbock,” @Nordic1206 said.
“He is thinking of his countrymen… Not like you,” commenter @58alig opined.
Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock criticised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for a joint photo with the Russian and Iranian leaders. She called the joint picture of the heads of state “a challenge for NATO”, adding that it was “simply incomprehensible”.
