Merz Now Godfather of a Seal - German Chancellor Merz Appointed Seal Godfather, Sparks Protests
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been appointed as the godfather of a seal named Lüthje at the Friedrichskoog Seal Sanctuary. During his inaugural visit to Schleswig-Holstein, Merz attended a cabinet meeting and was presented with the godfather certificate by Minister-President Daniel Günther. Meanwhile, his comments on migration and the 'urban air' sparked protests in Husum.
Merz's role as a godfather involves being kind and occasionally helping with food for the seal. The sanctuary cares for orphaned seals, preparing them for release back into the wild once they reach at least 25 kilograms and are in good health.
During his visit, Merz attended a cabinet meeting of the state’s black-green coalition government. He clarified that migration issues stem from migrants without permanent residency status who are not employed. His comments on the 'urban dictionary' led to protests, with approximately 150 people gathering outside the town hall. Protesters held signs and chanted slogans expressing their disagreement with Merz's views.
