Jetzt fällt ihnen der Blödsinn selbst auf die Füße. Kommt davon wenn man Brunnen vergiftet. Karma!
Danke an Frau Göpel, die es geschafft hat, bei dem Gespräch die Richtung vorzugeben und dem Politiker Wüst zu klären Antworten und Aussagen zu entlocken. Kommunikativ toll geführt, weil die beiden auf einander eingehen ohne sich ständig zu unterbrechen. Bitte Herrn Lanz durch Frau Göpel ersetzen!
Er ist symathisch, authentisch und bürgernah, zugewandt, hört genau zu. ❤ Das finde ich, obwohl keine CDU-Wählerin sehr gut.
Bei uns wird jedenfalls nicht lautstark nach außen gestritten, sondern unsere Landesregierung erarbeitet alles intern in den Gremien und geben uns dann die Ergebnisse in verständlicher Sprache bekannt.
Ich bin absoluter Fan von Maja und das schon sehr lange UND ich muss gestehen, dass sich Herr Wüst als ein wirklicher so ganz und gar nicht Fritze Politiker entpuppt hat. Klar kenne ich ihn nicht seit heute, hab ihn aber noch nie in einem längeren Gespräch zugehört.
Mittlerweile kann ich also sagen, dass ich 3 Politiker der CDU sehr gut bis gut finde.
Ich hoffe er bekommt die Möglichkeit einiges auf den Weg zu bringen
Ein toller Kanal dem ich schon lange zwei bin, ich finde das heutige Gespräch fand ich das Beste
Danke und gerne mehr davon
