Abroad. Germany's Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock will probably not become Chancellor. This after it was revealed that she had waited several years to declare high side incomes and was forced to admit that she had bluffed in her CV, writes Deutsche Welle. However, the party leader himself blames “sexism”.

After competing in the spring to become the country's largest party, the Greens in Germany see their support disappear in a new major opinion poll.
“Germany's green double standards have got soup cod” states DN's Gunnar Johansson in an analysis.
The Greens went like a rocket in German politically correct opinion, but after several hypocrisy revelations around the chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbocks, it is a dead end.
Now accuses Baerbock German media for sexism, reports ETC.
– I often feel – and often get told – that it is a burden that I, a 40-year-old woman with young children, stand as a chancellor candidate, she recently told the women's magazine Brigitte.
Baerbock has been confiscated from having her hairdresser rescued and claimed that she was a member of the prestigious think tank German Marshall Fund when in fact she was just a sympathizer. She only declared income from large Christmas bonuses several years later and in a book she was accused of engaging in plagiarism and copyright infringement.
Within the left, however, criticism is considered net hatred.
– The hate campaign against Baerbock is unparalleled in German election history and far exceeds everything we have seen against Merkel, says Michael Butter at the University of Tübingen to Reuters.
The Greens had 28 percent support in April but now they only have 20 percent. It will thus probably be the Christian Democrat Armin Laschet (CDU) who succeeds Angela Merkel.
