Politician´s attitude

Gehört eigentlich nur bedingt hierher, aber ich finde, dieses Interview mit Herrn Gauck kann man ruhig mal lesen. Gauck beanstandet darin die Mutlosigkeit von Politikern/innen, Dinge einfach mal zu tun und etwas zu wagen.

For those who can read German. Joachim Gauck, former candidate for the German Presidency, civil rights activist and priest, had this interview with one of Germany´s big daily newspapers. It does not really belong here, but there is some true points that Canadian readers would agree on as much as German readers. Gauck explicitly critizises politicians for their lack in courage to make bigger changes in the system and to promote fundamental reforms even if this would mean that they might not be re-elected the next time. I know that a lot of people out their wish for politicians to be more visionary and bolder. Maybe all of us should say it more often.
I will translate the interview soon.
