Germany urgently needs a new price.

It should be awarded annually.

Sometimes it would go to the greatest whimper, sometimes to hypocrites, liars, rascals and swindlers.

The price should be made of pure gold: the "Golden Pinocchio".

Depending on the severity of the escape, the density of the blue haze, the weight of lies and deceit, the nose would have to be adjusted.

This year it would go to a woman in eastern Germany, Manuela Schwesig, the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

For her, Pinocchio's golden nose would be so long that she could comfortably balance on it from Schwerin to Rostock.

The cooked head of government has made a video with herself as the main character.

She appears softly and cunningly and praises her new “Climate and Environment Foundation”.

This will help to stop global warming and to free small and medium-sized companies from the tribulation of financial hardships.

That Schwesig founded this foundation so that the highly controversial Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipeline can be completed under her umbrella, which, apart from the Germans, convinces hardly any Europeans that she is turning a long nose for the Americans, who are threatening sanctions, that this foundation finally is largely supported by Russian companies that take care of everything except environmental protection - Manuela Schwesig either doesn't mention all of this at all or at the end and only incidentally.

Rarely has one seen such a clever politician in German politics as this head of government, lubricated with all the ointments of the art of selling.

The foreign policy spokesman for the Greens, Omid Nouripour, considers the completion of the pipeline with the help of Schwesig's own foundation to be a “scandal”, but this will at least dispel “the myth of a private-sector project”.

But the Greens shouldn't be outraged.

Rather, they should donate the "Golden Pinocchio".

Vladimir Putin could hand it over to Manuela Schwesig and Donald Trump could then give the laudatory speech.

Schwesig should also be allowed to work around the world in addition to her work in her own country.

With a mixture of presumptuousness, boldness and a downright Luciferian splendor, Schwesig manages to sell even the poorest hut as a palace or to propose a trip to the Arctic for everyone who is cold.

There is only one thing Manuela Schwesig should refrain from in the future: to portray herself as an ardent European.

Anyone who supports Nord Stream 2 is a pure nationalist.
