The news of the death of Wolfgang Schäuble, who after an unequal battle with cancer, breathed his last at the age of 81, has spread sadness in the German political scene.

The flags in the German Parliament, in government buildings and also in the presidential palace medium waves.

According to the report of SKAI and Dimitra Kyranoudis, Wolfgang Schäuble had an uninterrupted career, he was a politician who did not let any position escape him. German politicians speak of a shrewd man, militant democrat and Europeanist.

However, there are also references to the harsh austerity measures and the negotiation with Greece in 2015 under then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.

In fact, there are many messages on social networks from German citizens who mention that he was definitely not a populist, he had chosen the hard way many times for Germany and that is why he often caused strong discomfort.

Recently, he had taken a position on Russia’s war in Ukraine and on the energy crisis that invited citizens to wear…double sweaters and light candles.
