Political figures and soccer enthusiasts - "All of them are German. They're all our sons" - Scholz, Söder, and their peers hold oaths for the European Championships
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is eagerly anticipating a lively and diverse UEFA European Championship in Germany. "The Chancellor is thrilled about a rainbow of flags. The bolder, the better, in his mind," stated deputy government spokesperson Wolfgang Büchner on Friday in Berlin.
"In addition to black, red, and gold, he's excited to see many other colors and flags of the tournament teams," said Büchner. Germany is a part of Europe, and all football enthusiasts are warmly welcomed, and we're also looking forward to "a celebration of unity," he added.
Scholz also backs the German team and coach Julian Nagelsmann for the first game against Scotland and hopes for a decent start from a German standpoint. The Chancellor plans to be in attendance for the last group game of the DFB team against Switzerland on June 23 in Frankfurt am Main, according to Büchner.
The Federal Government is hoping for a football extravaganza and delightful weeks for the citizens, who will root for the German squad - in the stadium, in fan zones, at home, with family, friends, or at their local pub.
