On Monday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tweeted a pirate-style picture of himself with a black eye patch and dark-red bruises on the right side of his face, he didn’t wear it just for fun but this is the outcome of a jogging accident on the weekend.
On Saturday, the German Chancellor fell while jogging and sustained bruises to his face, pressing him to postpone some appointments this weekend, the German government said.
In a picture, published on X (formerly known as Twitter) Scholz wrote that he looks forward to the memes.
Here are some responses to his unusual request:
A spokesperson for Scholz told reporters in Berlin later on Monday that Scholz was doing well regarding the possibilities.
“He was in quite a fine mood this morning, but still looks a bit battered,” Steffen Hebestreit said adding that the picture was published “so that everyone can get used to how he will look in the next week or two.”
Olaf Scholz canceled appointments on Sunday in the central Hesse region, where a state election is being scheduled on October 8. However, he was expected to attend public appearances later on Monday in Berlin.
German media reported that the German Chancellor fell while jogging in his hometown of Potsdam which is located 28 kilometers southwest of the capital of Germany.
