- German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has been re-elected for a second five-year term.
The 66-year old Social Democrat and former foreign minister received more than two thirds of the votes cast by an electoral assembly made up of politicians, civil society figures and celebrities. Steinmeier had the support of all three parties of Germany's governing coalition. Nominally the head of state, the role of president is largely ceremonial in German politics.
In his acceptance speech, Steinmeier urged Germany and its allies to do everything to prevent war in Europe.

#Germany #Steinmeier #GermanPresident
I almost forgot Germany even had a president.
President Steinmeier is the head of the state while Chancellor Scholz is the head of government
probably the best speech by a Head of State for years. So inspiratioinal and appropriate at this time. Called a spade a spade and was so upfront on so many key issues of this time…..excellent.
Wonderful the way he speaks about the might of democracy. A man voted for by his peers and a few invited guests, seemingly is afraid of democracy.
@@Smudgie Yeah, elected by the federal parliamentarians we elect every four years in democratic and free elections as well as people from every walk of life representing our state parliaments according to the number of elected officials we elect every five years (four in Bremen). Your characterisation is dishonest to the core, are you not embarrassed for yourself?
@@kurteisner67 Not in the slightest. You?
@@Smudgie first of all he doesn't have much power so it's not that important
Secondly the election is specifically designed so the president gets as few legimatizations as possible to avoid something like the Weimar republic where the president had all the power. Basically if the already almost only symbolic head of state is not even elected by the public he doesn't stand a chance in becoming a director
@@Smudgie Yeah, go figure. So you're not only dishonest, but also shameless. Pathetic.
Please , do provide subtitles.......
Italy here 🇮🇹 🇪🇺
So happy he has been reelected, he is a great Statesman. We admire him.
🤮
Never heard of him, therefore he must be a great president
Great speech ! Well said!
I agree with Mrs. Frank, it seem like we are working harder just to keep are freedom and keeping the peace
I just felt a shock when he kissed his wife. That's doesn't happen in US politics, they keep that stuff private.
Hello, how are you doing? I'm sorry for leaving this message here on your comments. Actually you don't know me. I would love to be your friend🙏🙏
I wonder why no news outlet has noted that Steinmeier’s re-election makes him the first SPD head of state in German history to be re-elected. Every SPD President since the Weimar Republic has only served one term. An interesting little fact that I haven’t seen reported anywhere, not even Wikipedia.
Who?
Salute Frank Walter Steinmier
My German
Ich denke, es ist bemerkenswert, dass ein Präsident unvollständige Informationen, Synonyme, Assoziation, Irreführende, Auswärtswinkel, Körpersprache, Duplizierungsgeist und Schweigen verwenden kann. Vermeiden Sie beispielsweise die Diskussion über die staatlichen Gebäude.
Good speech and very timely!
What's his background? Most likely a kaynsian I suspect.
Jurist by training. He was foreign minister in one of Merkel's govts.
Schade dass das Land weiter gespalten wird.
wie das?
Weswegen? Weil der Kandidat der AfD nicht gewählt wurde oder was.😂
@@Leonard0108 wohl nicht aufgepasst? Die AFD hatte keinen eigenen Kandidaten. Falls sie Prof Dr Otte meinen sollten, der ist bei der CDU.
@@matthiasu7039 in der "Werteunion" ja, aber trotzdem tritt er für diese an.. das ist quasi dasselbe
@@Leonard0108 nein
I’m not from Germany, but can someone explain why the Chancellor of Germany seem to be more like a “president” than the actual president?
Because the President in a parliamentary system takes the place of a monarch (i.e. head of state), so they have ceremonial and diplomatic powers, not governmental ones. They just preside over the state, they don’t run it. The chancellor as head of government is like the prime minister in most parliamentary democracies.
In a presidential system like the U.S., the president is both head of state and head of government.
👍😂😍🥰🥰🥰
Europe cannot take peace for granted. The US has been saying this for many years, yet our complaints that other countries are not meeting defense spending commitments seem to continually fall on deaf ears. It seems many Europeans think that they have somehow evolved beyond the uncivilized behavior of war, that such things have been rendered obsolete. Sadly, this is wishful thinking. Will Europe wake up from this dream? Well, the Baltic countries and Poland seem to be well aware, having recently escaped Soviet domination not too long ago. They are eagerly awaiting a German reawakening, hoping for more than just helmets. Meanwhile, Putin seems to have Germany wrapped around his little finger, thanks to their energy needs. Time to reboot those nuclear reactors, and tell Putin where he can shove his precious oil and gas!

They just didn't have a second name to replace him, so be it.
Congratulations Mr. Steinmeier 💖🥂
Does DW actually think its going to get away with sacking Palestinian journalists who oppose Apartheid?
I hope Steinmeier carries on Merkels kind great legacy
The governor of the 51st US state was re-elected. Congratulations to the German community that resides there!
*Germany and France are 2 major European powers and major Russia’s economic partners in Europe. They both invested tons of money into Russia, built tons of car factories and other affiliates on the Russian territory. They have huge business interests in Russia. Do some minimal research.*
A Turkish German girl was beaten in Berlin by Neo (Nasi, s=z) group but hey guess what? DW didn't cover it.
She's not white
@@MonteLogic and all DW cares about is what Erdogan is doing.
Well, that's not the kind of news the DW covers. Acts of politically driven violence aren't really that important in the grand scheme of a whole nation.
It's not world news
@@MonteLogic that are plus points for a potential coverage for most Newsprovider,
I don't know where you go with your argument, it doesn't make to much sense.
The german idea of a president is laughable.
who cares
Look around for clues. We're gonna figure out who cares, and if it's the last thing we do.
Yeah, right, Russia is “falling” so hard that it built brand new spaceport/cosmodrome in the Russian Far East in 2016 called “Vostochny”, marvellously host 2018 FIFA World Cup in 11 Russian cities when the whole world witnessed Russia’s might and beauty, constructed Nord Stream 2 pipeline project last year, constructed the longest bridge in Europe - “Crimean Bridge” in 2018 as well as tons of other big infrastructure projects in Crimea like brand new airport in the Crimean capital Simferopol, brand new 17-storied hospital also in Simferopol, brand new power plants, brand new highways (like “The Tavrida”), brand new mosque for the Crimean Tatars in Simferopol - now it’s the largest one on the peninsula etc. worth billions of $. I can go on and on. 😁🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪🏻
Russias wealth and might is so great, it almost compares to that of Italy. No really, the GDP of Russia is only slightly smaller than Italies. For a few months in 2014, the russian GDP even surpassed that of Italy. And not to mention the agriculturally usable land on crimea growing to 20.000 ha in 2020 from the depressing pre-annexation figure of merely 140.000 ha. They even started rationing drinking water for the population. And the glorious Sputnik vaccine, which admittedly is less effective than Moderna or Biontech, but that doesn't matter, since it's the only approved vaccine in Russia anyways. Russia is so marvelous, that they even supply other countries with Sputnik, even though there isn't enough to vaccinate the people of Russia. Smart decisions like that have kept the deahs from CoViD in Russia as low as 330.000. Don't get confused by the excess mortality of Russia in the same timeframe amounts to 930.000 deaths in excess over pre-pandemic years. There is nothing that this could imply. Russia is so radiant and mighty, that almost all of its former socialist brother nations have asked their former sworn enemy NATO for protection. Truly glorious!

I suppose you do realize that your anti-Russian chanting is nothing more but a bunch of wet dreams/delusions, clueless nonsense, repetitive misconceptions, toxic twaddle and boring rant of some typical brainwashed anti-Russia troll.
It’s only good for a cheesy stand-up comedy show. 😉
✅ Ukrainian authorities in Kiev deliberately cut off the only Crimean water supply completely after 2014, although the “North-Crimean canal” was built by the all of the USSR in the Soviet times. And still despite this water blockade and inhuman provocation from the Ukrainian side Russia has managed to build sufficient water stations and found water resources to provide Crimea with fresh water.
✅ Russian vaccine Sputnik V is one of the best and most popular in the world (top 3). “Lancet”, “Nature” and other influential science journals called it “effective and safe”. Bloomberg in their article called it “the biggest Russian scientific breakthrough since the USSR era”.
70 countries of the world officially registered and certified it with 2 billion units. Russian population is 60% jabbed which isn’t that bad.
✅ Technically the Western salary may be bigger, but the cost of life is MUCH bigger as well. Just one example: average public utilities bill in the West is 400-500€, and in Russia it’s 50€. Not to mention gas prices etc.
✅ Russia is the 5th-largest economy in Europe, the world's 11th-largest economy by nominal GDP, and the 6th-largest by PPP. Russia is a great power, and is considered a potential superpower. It is ranked very high in the Human Development Index, with a universal healthcare system, and a free university education. Russia is also one of the most educated nations in the world.
Moving on:
*GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS INDEX*
According to the *Global Competitiveness Index (published by the World Economic Forum)* which assesses the ability of countries to provide high levels of prosperity to their citizens, Russia 🇷🇺 is ranked 43th, right next to Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Lithuania, Malta etc. Which is pretty average for Europe, I must admit.
Whereas Ukraine 🇺🇦 is ranked 85th next to Sri Lanka, Moldova, Algeria, Tunis, Lebanon.
Go to Wiki: *GDP (nominal) per capita.*
There’s a map of countries there.
🟩 green color means rich
🟨 yellow color means middle income
🟥 red color means poor
Let’s see.
*Africa is red 🟥 (just like Ukraine, Mongolia and Cambodia)*
*Russia is yellow 🟨 (just like Argentina, China and Poland)*
*Oopsie, I’ve just triumphantly debunked your anti-Russian nonsense. So please stop lying about Russia.* 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🪆🪆🪆❤️❤️❤️
Guess who exported technology and know how to Russia 👉Germany.
Africa is a continent not a country......
@@user-qe9tr9gp6b Russias GDP per capita is desperately low compared to it's total GDP. The money is with Putin's Oligarchs and not the people. He's using and stealing from the people of Russia and gets cheered on for it.
Please remember Afghanistan 🇦🇫.
Crimea is an integral part of Russia for 8 years already (again and RIGHTFULLY) the same way as Moscow, Sochi or Kaliningrad. Crimea doesn’t want to have anything to do with Ukraine anymore after they peacefully and festively rejoined Russia. Respect their choice and decision. Donbass are the 2 breakaway republics in the Eastern Ukraine that proclaimed independence after the American sponsored coup in Kiev. Russia only helps them to survive because Ukrainian authorities installed an economic blockade onto them.
Would you accept it as well if the inhabitants of Kaliningrad area would vote for joining Germany again?
@@randuru why should they? The majority are russians after the germans got moved away
@@12tanuha21 Could offer them a better life perhaps.
Der schlechteste den wir je hatten, ich verachte ihn
Und noch Kriegstreiber gegen Russen wieder und wieder. Super.
