      Strictly speaking he was not elected as PM yet.

      His party narrowly got the most votes (second votes to be precise) but the number of seats is identical to that of the CDU.

      By convention the party with more votes gets to name the PM but that’s an unwritten rule and in any case the election of the PM in parliament will only take place after weeks of coalition negotiations.

      Very late, the UK in the main time already had a prime minister of Turkish origin.

      Turkish origin? He was born and raised in Germany. His parents came from Turkey, but he’s not Turkish.

      > Cem Özdemir was elected as the Minischterpräsident of the German state Baden-Württemberg.

      There, fixed that for you.

      But yeah, technically he hasn’t been elected yet. He only won the election.

      Turkish origin=Türk with a German citizenship. We should not discuss about races and genes in 21. century. It is a shame.

      Why is this news? In Portugal, António Costa was prime minister and he is of Indian descent, and nobody questions that…

      The title is plainly wrong. There isn’t even a date for the election of the prime mninister, it will probably be sometimes in April. And it isn’t even decided that he will be that guy, because there is no coalition agreement yet.

      I do have a strange affection for Cem Özdemir, always had it. This is the guy who, back when weed was still illegal, [did his ALS Ice bucket challenge on his balcony next to his home gown cannabis plant](https://youtu.be/REOA3xXR8tI?si=GpEs2D3JTDETuZiW).

      This is also the guy who, [when heckled during an interview he gave in the streets during Covid, looked to the side, and told the heckler very audibly “Please shut the fuck up, thank you. I’m speaking right now, okay? This is Germany and I’m speaking. Please shut your pie-hole. Thank you. I’m speaking, move to the side please.” *Turns back to the camera* “Right, where were we?”](https://youtu.be/9_jI6WwUr1g?feature=shared)

      I’m not being sarcastic, the man has always been relatable as fuck and while he’s more conservative than I am I have always liked him. Way to go man!

      Considering how poorly integrated and assimilated Turks living in Germany and other European countries are, this is quite a big deal.

      Why are the German Greens so electorally more successfully than pretty much every other European Green party?

      He could become chancellor, simply because people like him. Imagine, a German chancellor with Turkish roots – I’d love it

      I would have very strong reservations about allowing citizens who can vote in another nations elections to hold an elected position in another.

      “Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?”

      (“It’s nice here. But have you ever been to Baden-Württemberg?” are these stickers that you see all over the place. Like seriously they’re everywhere. And yeah, it is quite nice there too)

      The section under this post has become a perfect playground for people with a superiority complex. They see themselves as white Europeans and just want to spit out their hatred against Turks and Muslims.

      I don’t know this person. I don’t think politicians stay loyal to their origins, no matter where they come from and they shouldn’t, anyway. Do you really think a politician in Germany would say, I will only work for Turks or things related to Turkey because of my roots? Don’t be ridiculous.

      They should work for the whole country where they do politics. And that’s what they actually do. You and your romantic ideas

      He is greeen? Damn germany is fucked beyond repair if they still vote green

    28. Buntschatten on

      He has Turkish heritage, but he’s not from Turkey. He was born in Bad Urach.

      I love the Nazi tears in at the bottom of the comment section. Please, keep them coming. 🙂
