A Funny Mix-Up: Laschet Keeps Getting Mistaken for Pistorius
- Mistake Continually Made: Laschet Frequently Mistaken for Pistorius
Armin Laschet revealed he's often confused with fellow politician Boris Pistorius. In a recent incident, officials called Pistorius' ministry to clarify: "The minister can't ride an e-scooter around – it wasn't him, but me," Laschet shared.
Laschet, a former Union chancellor candidate, mentioned that these mix-ups happen regularly. During the Munich Security Conference, for example, a soldier addressed him as "Minister" in front of an elevator. Taken aback, Laschet simply responded, "I am not your minister."
On a lighter note, Laschet joked about the situation with Pistorius, stating that one day he might find himself in the defense minister's official car, ready to take off. Pistorius found the joke amusing.
In the past, when Laschet was the Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, the tables were turned. Yet, Laschet said, Pistorius is now "more present in many ways."
