- In an interview with DW, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed his sympathy with the relatives of the attack in Nice. He warned that democratic societies must not "commit themselves to a course that makes hatred and exclusion the yardstick for state action." Steinmeier spoke about the challenges posed by the coronavirus crisis and warned of the increasing sharpness of the debate on the measures used to contain it. The German President also talked about the significance of the U.S. elections and the relationship with Russia, as well as what Angela Merkel's successor must prepare for. Steinmeier (a member of the SPD since 1975) was a long-time companion of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Foreign Minister in Merkel's cabinet. He has been Federal President since 2017. The interview was conducted by Rosalia Romaniec.

This is how an adequate politician/president looks like. Calm, collected, democratic, speaking in an adult manner.
I agree
We (at least some of us) in the USA could not agree with you more.
I think that's because he's not a political figure - he's the head of state like the British Queen
US doesn't have any position like that, even the Supreme Court is divided and political.
What about my blond guy on the other side of the Atlantic???
sos!
He spoke like a president not just a president but a wise one ☝️
Thumbs up for our Bundespräsident 👍
Very well spoken.
My fellow Americans, notice that he sat still for the entire interview, calmly and intelligently answering very complex, difficult questions - he did not get up and stomp away like a spoiled child. Do you remember (what feels like long ago) when an American president could do that?
@Wade 11 - So happy for you, and I hope you do not have to return here anytime soon. I'm not that fond of the cold, but I sometimes dream of living in the alps, far away from all of this chaos, where people are more sane. I never thought the US would so rapidly decline on so many levels.
But she isn’t biased. She isn’t trying to set him up. She hasn’t arrived with an already set agenda regardless of what he says. Trump has to deal with a political biased media that still hasn’t got over their catastrophic defeat . To compare the two interviews is a mistake.
Also, he's a parliamentary president--meaning he has the same power as a constitutional monarch (eg the Queen). Politics are left to the prime minister or chancellor. Presidential systems are winner take all and lead to dictatorships.
Funfact: He even donated one of his kidneys to his wife after she was severely ill. Talk about dedication to your love :)
Did he get himself new kidney after that?
@@Raivo080 Nope, still has one.
Germany is important for the whole world.
Yes, we got that memo.
@Bainsworth What do you mean they go nuts with little power?
@Bainsworth I just wanted to see your perspective and i agree with you.
@Bainsworth Europe learned its lesson but America apperantly didn't. And please do not judge people by their countries history.
@Bainsworth Germany is the 4 biggest economy, so we have international importance. I do not say that we are the most important nation in the world and I admit that the EU is more important than Germany but to say that we are only important in Europe is wrong.
Germany is our friendship (by Indonesian people
he kinda looks like an older version of trump with glasses. oh, and he also makes sense when he speaks
Ich denke, es ist bemerkenswert, dass ein Präsident unvollständige Informationen, Synonyme, Assoziation, Irreführende, Auswärtswinkel, Körpersprache, Duplizierungsgeist und Schweigen verwenden kann. Vermeiden Sie beispielsweise die Diskussion über die staatlichen Gebäude.
Germany has a president???😂😂
I couldn't believe it either.
Obviously, from your name, you're a yank (like me)
He is a figure head
@@gottod6895 definitely
@@allah547 lol
It's not to confuse with fe an American president. He is the 'Bundespräsident'.
'The President of Germany, officially the Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany, is the head of state of Germany. Under the 1949 constitution Germany has a parliamentary system of government in which the chancellor is the head of government. Wikipedia'
Thank you
Germany is the best country in the world
That’s why so much people all hard work
he is a very wise man
No one just hard on
The German president is just symbolic
His wisdom is respectable.
@Bainsworth Nationalist? o.O
@Bainsworth hes a social democrat....
@Bainsworth Just didn't want misinformation spreading. I figured you just misinterpreted it.
Note: He’s a Social Democrat. See America? This has nothing to do with communism...
No it’s just about taken most of YOUR hard earned money before you even see a dime
@@Earlydoors272 Social Democrats aren‘t even THAT for hard taxation. That still goes to the full-on Socialist groups.
Always speak Germany gooden morgen
He is an great man
German President:
Neighbots.

I went to St. Catherine health department and was set up by nurse Douglas. Only to find out I became mentally challenged but I did My laundry first through spiritual help from princess Royale Anne Isreal army prime minister bin Salman
When you play game and you loss do you act like you didn’t? You man up? Hmm
German president is an O
Wait who is president? What ... what is the difference between president and chancellor? Wth mind blown
The Chancelor is the head of the government (he/she is elected by the Bundestag (the parliment), the german president is the head of state but is just a symbolic figure
@@dharmagall9082 He is not only a symbolic figure
He has to sign every federal law for them to come into effect and has the right to check if it is (obviously) unconstitutional
He may also desolve the Bundestag under certain circumstances
Apart from that he is mostly a symbolic figure however
@@threwyn4459 well he needs a realy valid reason not to sign, he is basically a glorified proofreader. Its like the queen ,on paper he does have power in reality he would just be ignored or replaced, if he uses his powers outside his small intended role within the goverment
@@vegemarkr4582 That’s just wrong
You can’t just remove him
Only possibility: Accuse him of a violation of the basic law or a federal law in front of the federel constitutional court
Only if they say there was a violation, the president is removed from office
@@threwyn4459 well not legally, like you can't remove the queen, still if the queen would desolve parliament she probably would be removed . if the president tries shady business I am sure the government won't stand for it.
I wish he can be our president.....
koçum benim
Vay
i enjoyed the interview he does have fatherly-President Chi style to him
Good morning friends
Hello beautiful woman with a beautiful post, now are you doing today, how is the weather over there.
Hello greetings ✋is me keanu reeves can I share something with you
German has two heads of state??
no steinmeier is the only head of state
No, the Chancellor is Head of Government, the President is the Head of State.
But fear should not control the way medical care is under took, and police state is not needed just to the public citizen; but also of the government, if you think it is needed at all...
"Regardless of who wins...? " You might want to answer that again!
Do you mean fuhrer?
Sehr gut Herr President

Yes, USA, Germany and Russia vs China
Steinmeier is a very bad german
It's time to exit from eu
Because there's not much funding for eu after brexit, and Germany is paying the price.
@Jamie Horn you sure are one delusional fellow.
@Jamie Horn you have no idea what you are saying. I forgive you because you are poisoned by hatred. You should leave hate behind, work on improving yourself instead of trying to blame others for your misery.
Germany is the center piece of the EU
Dribble !!! Beware of freemasons...
Hello German is a very good country
Steinmeier is indeed a harsh test for democracy.
Not my President!!!
