Prime Minister - Signed national jersey instead of flowers for Schweitzer
For his election as Rhineland-Palatinate Minister President, Alexander Schweitzer received an unusual gift: Landtag President Hendrik Hering presented the SPD politician with a jersey of the Football National Team - complete with signatures of the national players. "Usually, one would give flowers now. But I'm going to deviate from that in the Schweitzer household, which I assume is short on vases today," said Hering. "So we thought of something else."
The jersey fits him perfectly, noted Hering, looking at Schweitzer's tall frame. The national trainer had also signed it. And he had found good words for him in the past few days. "Together we are stronger. With the neighbor stronger than without him. And let's just do a little more things together."
