In a conversation between Armin Laschet and Sophia Thomalla, the question arose whether the actress would like to become a politician.
On June 25th, two very different personalities met met for a live conversation on Facebook: Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet (60) and actress Sophia Thomalla (31). The question arose whether Thomalla might not want to go into politics himself.
Thomalla has always been very interested in politics, she says. Celebrities often did not dare to stand up for their political views because they feared the possible “headwind”. “I was never a fearful girl, on the contrary,” continues Thomalla and explains that she has been a member of the CDU since 2011 or 2012.
“Does Germany now need a politician named Sophia Thomalla?”
The question “Does Germany need a politician named Sophia Thomalla now?” she answers with a no. She believes that it is enough to show an interest in politics and, among other things, to communicate this openly to the people. “But I don’t think I need a post now,” she said. “I think we want to spare the Germans that. […] I’m reflected, let’s put it that way. “
Should Laschet become Federal Chancellor, she would like a “similar political approach” to that of Angela Merkel (66), which is always “very calm and prudent”. Your nickname for the Chancellor? “Teflon Merkel”.
