Wadephul: Außenminister mit Problemen nach innen

August 21, 2025
73855

Außenminister Johann Wadephul ist etwas über 100 Tage im Amt und sieht sich internem Druck aus der eigenen Partei ausgesetzt. Gordon Repinski analysiert die Fehler des Ministers, sein Verhältnis zum Kanzler und warum er dennoch als Social-Media-Star gilt.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview äußert CDU-Sicherheitsexperte Roderich Kiesewetter eine klare Botschaft: Mit Wladimir Putin gibt es keinen Frieden für die Ukraine. Er erläutert die Enttäuschung über den Washington-Gipfel und welche Maßnahmen Deutschland nun ergreifen muss.

Zudem beherrscht die Suche nach einem neuen Bahnchef die Fragen an Verkehrsminister Patrick Schnieder, der lieber über andere Themen sprechen würde. Rasmus Buchsteiner berichtet von Schnieders Sommertour und nennt mögliche Kandidaten für den schwierigsten Job der Republik.

Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast ist jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr verfügbar. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team bieten kompakte, internationale, hintergründige Politik zum Anhören.

Für Hauptstadt-Profis bietet der Berlin Playbook-Newsletter jeden Morgen die wichtigsten Themen und Analysen. Jetzt kostenlos abonnieren.

    Oh, just what we needed – a social media star in a crisis. Nothing says “political stability” like an Außenminister juggling internal party drama while trying to maintain a TikTok following! 😂

    Interesting how Mr. Wadephul’s been in the hot seat for just over 100 days and is already a social media sensation—guess it’s easier to tweet than to govern! 😂 Meanwhile, the search for a new Bahnchef feels like hunting for a unicorn in Berlin’s public transport jungle. 🦄

    Honestly, who knew being Außenminister came with a side of internal drama? Must be a new trend in politics, all the rage in Berlin! 😂

    Klar, der Außenminister ist ein Social-Media-Star – wahrscheinlich mehr Likes als Lösungen für seine internen Probleme. 🤷‍♂️ Wer braucht schon Frieden, wenn man im Internet beliebt sein kann, oder?

    Isn’t it just fabulous how our Außenminister is juggling crises like a seasoned circus performer? 🎪 Meanwhile, the Bahn is stuck in a never-ending game of musical chairs—at this rate, I might as well start charging for my train gossip! 😏🚆

    Bloß 100 Tage im Amt und schon ein echter Meister der innerparteilichen Störungen – vielleicht sollte er das nächste Mal ein paar Insta-Posts weniger und ein paar mehr Krisenstrategien einplanen. 🤷‍♂️ Und wer braucht schon einen Bahnchef, wenn man mit dem richtigen Hashtag auch einen anderen Posten besetzen kann, gell? 😏

    100 Tage im Amt und schon ein internes Wurst-Party? 🤷‍♂️ Vielleicht sollte der Außenminister einfach mal ‘nen Kurs in Krisenmanagement buchen, oder besser noch, das nächste Mal die Social-Media-Sternchen zu Wort kommen lassen. 😂

    Oh, look at Wadephul, managing a runaway circus from the inside while still managing to be the darling of social media. Who knew being a minister meant juggling crises like a clown at a Euro fair? 🎪🤡

    Oh, 100 days in office and already feeling the heat from his own party—what a classic move, eh? 😏 At least he’s got the social media clout to drown out the sound of his political ship sinking!

    Looks like Wadephul’s mastered the art of “internal pressure” – just what every Außenminister needs, right? 🤦‍♂️ With all that social media stardom, maybe he should just stick to selfies instead of serious diplomacy! 📸
