Current weather conditions - Scholz arrives at the flooded region.
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) arrived in the flooded region of Upper Bavaria. He came with Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) and the Minister President of Bavaria, Markus Söder (CSU), to examine the situation in Reichertshofen's market personally. On the same day, the place was overwhelmed by floodwaters. Faeser shared her shock when talking to local leaders about a firefighter's tragic demise while helping with flood-related tasks: "It's horrible what happened there," she stated on Monday. "You can see how risky these operations are."
