The newspaper Der Spiegel published interesting information about the waste dump of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his political wife Britta Ernst, as she found very important information in their garbage.

She ridiculed the event, saying the couple had a “comfortable relationship with secret documents” as their neighbors in the city of Potsdam found very important documents in household waste, including “an internal document on the G7 summit.”

According to an article published in the newspaper, “the residents did not even have to look deep into the garbage to see that the neighbors (the chancellor and his wife) were throwing waste paper into the remaining garbage: transparent plastic bags lay on the floor. the road in front of the garbage heap, perhaps the foxes were playing with them.”

The document contained a draft of a speech given by the Brandenburg Minister of Education, Britta Ernst, a few days earlier to the Brandenburg state parliament.

The article ridiculed the German federal government’s calls on its website for “valuable advice” on waste disposal methods.
The article noted that the couple didn’t even stick to these rules, and “documents giving insight into the couple’s private and official lives can often be found in the trash. It appears that Schultz’s wife, in particular, is getting rid of confidential documents without destroying them. “Tear it once or twice, or you won’t tear it at all, it seems to the minister that this is enough,” the writer quipped.

The source noted that sometimes excerpts from Ernst’s appointments are found in the basket, containing information about officials who are on vacation, officials with whom you meet, and when you take your lunch break … parties, etc.

On another sheet there is a list of clothes that Ernst chose for different occasions, for example, on September 26, 2021, the day of the federal elections, the wife of an SPD councilor at that time planned to wear: “Jeans, blue shirt, thin blue jacket for voting in the center of the Potsdam Poll .

The documents also indicated that the minister was trying to improve her English, but the article indicated that the waste contained documents officially classified as classified by officials.

Shortly after the G7 summit in Elmau, Bavaria, a piece of paper with photographs and brief shots of partners and heads of state and government ended up in the family trash, and the “heads of the organizational headquarters” of the Foreign Ministry wrote to the chancellor’s wife: “Avoid publicity.” and other guidance information.

The article emphasized that the chancellor’s wife “should not have thrown paper into household waste because the State Department classified it as (confidential information – for official use only). Strict rules apply to the handling of such documents.”

The article said the careless handling of confidential documents was surprising to the couple, who have been involved in big politics for many years, as security agencies instruct government officials on how to handle confidential information.
