REVEALED | Why is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wearing an eye patch? | G20 Summit

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attended the G20 Summit in Delhi on Saturday, September 9, 2023, wearing an eye patch over his right eye. The 65-year-old politician suffered a minor injury to his face while jogging the previous Saturday, September 2, 2023.
Scholz's spokesperson, Steffen Hebestreit, said in a statement that the chancellor had sustained "a scratch above his right eye" and would need to wear the eye patch for a few days. Hebestreit added that the injury was "not serious" and that Scholz was "in good spirits".
Scholz's eye patch quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with some people joking that he looked like a pirate or a superhero. Others expressed concern for his health and wished him a speedy recovery.
The chancellor's injury did not appear to affect his ability to participate in the G20 Summit. He shook hands and exchanged greetings with other world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden.
Scholz also delivered a speech at the summit, in which he called for global cooperation to address the challenges of climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine.
