Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany faces accusations of racism after allegedly calling conservative minister Joe Chialo a "court jester" and a "fig leaf" during a birthday reception. The report by Focus Online claims these comments were made while Scholz was conversing at a party. Scholz acknowledges calling Chialo a court jester but argues it wasn't meant racially, insisting it was a misinterpretation. He contemplates legal action against those spreading what he perceives as false narratives, particularly as his party, the SPD, heads into a significant electoral challenge.
Scholz claimed he called Chialo "court jester" but asserted it was not intended as a racial slur, rejecting claims of racism and threatening legal action.
In his defense, Scholz emphasized that the comments made under the influence of wine were misconstrued, insisting they were not racially motivated.
