Scholz denies the possibility of riots in Germany like those that occur in France

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said today that he sees no danger of riots like those taking place in France in Germany.

“There are no indications of it,” Scholz said in the traditional summer interview on public broadcaster ARD.

“The parties that promote bad humor had predicted a winter of fury and an autumn of fury. But it was not like that,” added the chancellor. According to Scholz, a lot was done to cushion high energy prices and ensure the security of energy supply.

The chancellor was sympathetic to the cancellation of French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Germany, which was scheduled to take place today and was to last until Tuesday. “I would have done the same. And so we wish him a good hand in managing what, after all, is no small challenge.” He added that he does not expect France to become unstable, even if the images were very shocking.

“It cannot be that acts of violence are committed. And at the same time, of course, we must do everything possible so that the cohesion in our societies works well. And as you know, that is one of my main concerns also for politics in this country,” added the Social Democratic chancellor.

France has been shaken by massive riots for days since last Tuesday a 17-year-old boy was killed by a police shot during a traffic control. Since then looting, arson and violence between police and agitators have been repeated. Hundreds of people were arrested every night.
