Maischberger's ARD speech slips when Sahra Wagenknecht suddenly pulls out a piece of paper

In “Maischberger,” Sahra Wagenknecht and Katrin Göring-Eckardt get into a fight about the war in Ukraine — and eventually the conversation slips completely.

BERLIN – “The title of the project is 'War on Ukraine' – but, with all due respect, it is the Russian war on Ukraine.” A quote with echoes in Sandra's speech Maischberger Monday evening. This was done by Kathryn Göring-Eckard, Bundestag Vice-President from the Green Party. That didn't go down well with her partner. Sahra Vaughanknecht, President of the BSW Party. And then the speech is outrageous.

For his statement, Goering-Eckard received applause from the studio audience, almost allowing him to follow up with “Ukraine is defending its territory, that's it.” However, minutes before the end of the broadcast, it was not the last sentence of the speech that became somewhat incomprehensible. Göring-Eckardt previously described Ukraine's security goals as “realistic if it is adequately equipped” despite the difficult situation on the front. We've seen it, we know it.

Wagenknecht and Göring-Eckardt in Maischberger – slip of speech after quote slip

as Greens– Politician, for example, Maischberger is already pushing for short answers. Nevertheless, Göring-Ekard reports that a Ukrainian woman told him: “The worst thing I can imagine is that Putin rules us. Because our life, our freedom is over. Wagenknecht, who had listened calmly and calmly to the explanations, now intervened.

You must achieve a situation where the guns are silent, the politician points out, but is repeatedly interrupted by his opponent. “I see this war criminal as I see every war criminal,” Wagenknecht clarifies, but calls for “a minimum level of realism if you want to end this war.” She is convinced that this war cannot be ended militarily. He calls statements like Lars Klingbeil from the SPD calling for arms to be supplied to Ukraine for at least another ten years “crazy”. Göring-Eckardt shakes his head incomprehension. Both interrupt each other again and again. Then Wagenknecht suddenly unfolded a piece of paper.

“I'd like to read some quotes,” Wagenknecht declares — and Maischberger squeals in exasperation

“I like to read certain quotes because they are important to me,” declares the BSW politician. When Moderator Maischberger tried to stop her by saying, “Don't come at me with a piece of paper,” Wagenknecht threw a strappy “yes” at her. Even in Maischberger's sentences, he begins reading a quote from a Ukrainian negotiator: “The Russians were ready to end the war if we agreed to neutrality and promised not to join NATO.” Referee Maischberger growls audibly in exasperation.

Wagenknecht's request: Make this proposal and try for a peace treaty. Göring-Eckardt likes to contradict her. Then things get messy again. Sandra Maischberger now joins Wagenknecht's comments, saying that sometimes all three people involved in the speech are speaking at the same time. Even TV viewers cannot understand what exactly is being argued. As the show draws to a close – as the host tries to calm the antagonists – the audience joins the scene with applause.

Maischberger's speech descends into confusion – even in moderation there are still arguments

Moderator Maischberger cannot hide his annoyance at Wagenknecht's recitation, but even though the scene finally calms down, he passes the ball to Göring-Eckardt regarding possible negotiations. When the BSW boss intervenes again, Maischberger waves her off with one hand. Göring-Eckhardt has yet to say of the talks that he is in favor of exploring “every option”. However, the reality is that Germany has a responsibility that Kiev has Ukraine war Military so energy supplies and civilian buildings are no longer bombed. Ms. WagonConnect interrupts her again.

Even both opponents continue to talk about Maischberger's moderate efforts. She aptly summed up the final minutes of confusion in the speech: “They won't admit it today.” And the onlookers are confused.
