German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was booed and heckled by protesters Monday during a campaign visit to the Baltic Sea resort of Kuhlungsborn in northeastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, according to DPA news agency.<\/p>\n
Some people on the beach promenade called Merz a \u201cwarmonger\u201d and \u201cPinocchio,\u201d while others chanted \u201cResign!\u201d DPA reported.<\/p>\n
The hecklers faced opposition from other people in the crowd, some of whom called for restraint and decency toward the chancellor\u2019s critics.<\/p>\n
Merz spoke to members of the public from behind barriers at a campaign stand, DPA reported.<\/p>\n
His team did not issue a statement following his appearance despite an earlier announcement that one was planned.<\/p>\n
State elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are scheduled to take place in just under three weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Melike Pala 01 September 2026\u2022Update: 01 September 2026 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was booed and heckled by protesters…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1179606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5310],"tags":[2000,299,1824,248238],"class_list":["post-1179605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-germany","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-germany","tag-sitekeywords"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117192292098140322","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1179605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1179605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1179605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1179606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1179605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1179605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1179605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
