 here in Berlin right here in September 2nd 2017 and who are you? I'm I'm the direct candidate for Sheldonburg Wimmersov which actually is the city best Berlin. So it's part of Berlin and you the candidate for SPD? Exactly for the Labour Party of Germany. And Martin Schulz is the leader of your party and is he going to be the next boss of this country? I definitely hope so because what we need now is a unified Europe and especially say is to Switzerland our guess next door because like we have to do to understand Europe as being more than one economical zone. Mr McCrory said like Mrs Merkel this is not a supermarket you can't pick the best of Europe you have to take it all and that is what Martin Schulz of course also says you know Martin Schulz used to run the European Parliament so his first object is Europe and that's what the next big step for Germany is to simply try everything to help that Europe comes together. So there's just a couple weeks or a little bit more right? Yep. Left and I mean there's some polls but what do you believe about polls? Is that the truth or is not? No polls. Trump people thought he was going to lose right? Exactly. And if it happens? We also had the last three elections the local re-elections that we had got in Germany, Lacev-Holstein, Rostrom was failure and Rheinland-Pfalz all looked like the person that did win in the end was far behind the leading person three weeks in from the actual election. So the polls these days are kind of tricky and people decide very last second. So everything is open so if you watch this and you still want to vote for SPD because you want Martin Schulz as a chancellor do it. Merkel has been in power for a very long time. She's seen three different presidents in France which is strange. She's not a dictator right but she's been there for so long. Why? What's going on? Has it got to with Germany kind of being boss of Europe and people in Germans being happy about that they just wanted to continue the same way? The one inside the one inside has to do with Merkel benefiting from all the reforms that Mr. Schröder has done before which kind of them were kind of hard social cuts but the country is growing economic wise big way then and she takes all the credits for doing nothing and people are afraid of losing this positive effect. On the other hand side she never has got conflicts because she does government policy like a stone. She only moves if the earth moves so if everybody else is on the very same opinion then she moves before and she's pretty stubborn and she's pretty much on one case and it's not much happening here which is also dangerous. Just have in mind we are in a world that's changing dramatically. We have for the Brexit, we have for Trump, we have put on the other side the digital revolution and not to move, not to think ahead. This part in Germany is kind of dangerous also for the other countries. Not everybody in Germany is rich, right? So it's not okay to just have just conservative politics. We need to take care of everybody and not just in Germany like reform Europe make EU better, right? EU has issues and it would be nice if Macron shoots and maybe Jeremy Corbyn would do something about it in a different direction than has been done before, right? On one side you have also in a prosperous country like Germany a lot of poor people you have really more seriously to take care of but on the other hand if you look on the European scale then you have got people who have got sometimes dramatical conditions of living in Greece but also parts of Italy and parts of Spain and we have hey we are one Europe so we're responsible for each other. So Germany did profit big way in the reunification process of the rest of Europe being extremely in a solidarity move spending into Germany making this happen and now it's up to us to also be to show solidarity to people who have got a bad living especially in southern Europe and in parts of Eastern Europe only we succeed to bring everybody on the same social level we have got a peace for Europe. So bring everybody off right? Yeah. Like change the system a little bit and get things done because China is moving so fast. Yeah. It's just one guy in China he decides they do it and in Europe is discussed for 20 years before something gets done sometimes right? Yeah and it's kind of a issue. I was I was in together with the foreign minister a few years ago in India and you already had got the feeling that for the people of India that Germany is that big it's felt a little bit like being the together with the foreign minister of Liechtenstein on a trip to Germany so you yeah you get an appointment but it's like where exactly is Liechtenstein and so it feels and in comparison it is a bit like this so just out of being like if we want to mean anything in the world if we want to have got any kind of influence in the world the only chance is to do it together so let's join in Europe. Unfortunately that's a moment I have to stop because I have to go there. Thank you very much.
