“Scholz himself is a very restrained, very reasonable, cautious, intelligent politician.
I would say a person worthy of his new position, ”he said.
At the same time, Fessbender noted the problems of the new Chancellor with the "color coalition" in Germany in the context of relations with Russia and China.
“Yesterday, already in his first interview, it was clear that he did not support with regard to Russia and China ... those statements that were made a week ago by the new Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock,” the journalist explained.
She demanded a tougher course towards the so-called authoritarian countries, which include China and Russia.
"Olaf Scholz does not support this approach, he supports the previous approach of a more restrained, cautious attitude towards Russia," Fessbender said.
The Kremlin expressed hope for constructive relations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the new German Chancellor.
