Kerkeling wishes Aigner “only the best” – and complains about “headwinds”

Entertainer Hape Kerkeling wished CSU politician Ilse Aigner all the best for the office before she was officially nominated as a candidate for the office of Federal President.

“I wish Ilse Aigner all the best for this wonderful task,” Kerkeling said in a clip on Instagram on Sunday.

At the same time, Kerkeling was “touched” that more than 165,000 people had signed a petition because they wanted to see him as head of state. “Honestly, it’s humbling.” People would have wanted someone who was not a “career politician” and who spoke “plainly” without being “loud”.

As is well known, he himself “positioned himself clearly” in Erfurt. “The headwind on the net was fierce afterwards,” said the 61-year-old. “But your support shows me: I’m not alone, we’re not alone,” emphasized Kerkeling, who is also enjoying great success as an author (“I’ll be gone then,” “Give me some time”).
