In his first press conference after German Election day (sunday sept 27th 2009) Dr. Guido Westerwelle (FDP) refuses to take or answer a BBC correspodent's question in English. Westerwelle aims for becoming foreign secretary in the new German Government.

This video was recorded by one of Germany's most popular and distinguished political magazines: http://www.spiegel.de/ (pages in English language: http://www.spiegel.de/international/)
(c) Spiegel Online

The intension of this video is not bashing of politicians. I don't expect everyone to speak English perfectly (I don't either).. But I expect a (designated) foreign secretary to be polite and cosmopolitan in front of international press.

I feel like saying sorry everybody. :-)
