After her visit to the Munich Security Conference, former US Secretary of State Clinton is a guest in Berlin. At a gala, several activists disrupt the 76-year-old’s appearance. But she has an answer for the troublemakers.
At the “Cinema for Peace” gala at the Theater des Westens in Berlin, several people disrupted the appearance of star guest Hillary Clinton. A total of seven people stood up from their seats during the “A Special Evening with Hillary Clinton” event and loudly criticized the former first lady. They accused the 76-year-old of, among other things, war crimes. The disruptors were then led out of the hall.
Clinton himself was not influenced by the disruptive actions. Responding to calls from a man loudly calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East, she replied: “If Hamas releases the hostages, there can be a ceasefire tomorrow.” She understood the strong emotions that many people are currently having, she said at the end of the conversation, “but you don’t solve problems by shouting.”
The talk was moderated by US journalist Ann Curry. Several political topics were discussed in the conversation, including the death of the Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, the Middle East conflict and the war in Ukraine.
The upcoming US presidential elections in November 2024 were also discussed: “I’m doing everything I can to prevent Trump from having a second term in office,” the 76-year-old made clear. The founder of “Cinema for Peace”, film producer Jaka Bizilj, repeatedly called for moderation during the event. Everyone can express their opinion, but you have to remain respectful, says Bizilj.
