The announcement that there is another candidate for Chancellor for the Bundestag election in September should not go under either.

Jürgen Todenhöfer, 80, has the corresponding nomination of his party “Team Todenhöfer.

The Justice Party ”(preferred target group: young people who are fed up with the established party mess).

Team Todenhöfer: an anti-militarist youth feeling party, in short, which promises to compete “with the youngest candidate list and the highest proportion of women”.

Why this other candidate for chancellor?

Because the other candidacies are "third rate" and "without real life experience", so Todenhöfer on Twitter (see there also his short biography "Yesterday: judge, member of parliament and media manager. Today: war reporter, writer and founder of Team Todenhöfer").

Overwhelming approval on Facebook, only one combatant, Sabine Buchmann, goes from the flag: “It seems to me more and more as if the party is mainly concerned with the glorification of Jürgen Todenhöfer.

Almost religious.

Pity."

Sausage context

Now the accusation that Todenhöfer is a self-promoter is not new, the allegation is to a certain extent banal, and of course this party project to save Germany is also Todenhöfer's latest big ego boom. So what? By exhibiting his black leather jacket, which is a bit too new-looking, as a code of real life experience, Todenhöfer underlines the artistic rank of the political. It's the performance, stupid! Here someone is still confessing to the all-encompassing egological chaos, in which every blink of the eye, every good deed, every confession, however personal, stands.

That is why the 47-minute conversation on YouTube, conducted by Luisa Geesdorf in her role as Todenhöfer's press spokeswoman, a document of glorification in its purest form, can pass as “my most personal interview” (Todenhöfer). Todenhöfer takes it personally to lead his life as an installation, as a readymade of naked humanity. In response to the final question - "What should people remember when they think of Jürgen Todenhöfer?" - he replies after a long, artful silence at the minute 45:46: "I haven't thought about that yet!" Bum!

The response behavior is presented so delightfully delayed that at this moment one would prefer to take it at face value. What counts, so you understand, is the work of the day: First of all, get enough support signatures so that a first-class person can even run for election. And the unthinkable does not happen - that Germany's candidates for chancellor get stuck in third grade.
