No “biography”, no “memoirs”
He doesn’t want it to be seen as a biography or even a memoir. He talks regarding his rapid rise, the Ibiza affair, being voted out of parliament and his comeback, the chats and investigations by the corruption prosecutor’s office and his final retirement from politics. But also from encounters with Angela Merkel, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Rank, slim and with chic horn-rimmed glasses, that’s the new Helge Braun (49, CDU)!
► Angela Merkel’s former chancellery minister has lost at least 20 kilos since the beginning of the year and starved down.
The CDU politician posted a photo on Instagram at the weekend that was taken in his Gießen constituency. And earned plenty of compliments: “Great weight loss. Great!”, “You definitely look healthier once more.”

Braun kept the secret of his lost pounds to himself when asked by BILD. Only revealed this much: “As a doctor, I am aware that being overweight poses a particular health risk with advancing age. In the run-up to my 50th birthday, it was important to me to reduce my health risks.”
Braun celebrates his fiftieth birthday on October 18th.
Scholz and Habeck: fuss about mask extra sausage on flight to Canada politics
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Von: Jan W. Schäfer and Angelika Hellemann
Excitement regarding the trip to Canada by Olaf Scholz (64, SPD) and Robert Habeck (52, Greens)! On the flight across the Atlantic there was a mask extra sausage.
Chancellor and Economics Minister did not have to wear a mask on the government plane. The accompanying journalists were also allowed to fly without a mask.
︎ Current law in Germany still stipulates that masks are compulsory on flights within Germany and on flights that start or arrive in Germany!
In many other EU countries, however, the mask requirement in the air has long since been abolished.
Outrage at the extra sausage in social media and among politicians.
► The ex-chancellor candidate of the CDU, Armin Laschet (61), stated that members of the government and journalists should not ignore applicable laws. “It’s better to end non-European coercion and national solo efforts,” said Laschet.
However, unlike scheduled or charter flights, government aircraft are subject to a PCR test requirement.
︎ A government spokesman says regarding the mask swirl: “There is no mask requirement on Air Force flights. All participants of the trip must present a current negative PCR test before departure. This ensures a high level of protection.”
Means: Scholz, Habeck and the journalists had to do a PCR test a few hours before departure. And just before boarding the plane, another quick test. The flight was only possible with a negative result.
