    Laschet is the former chancellor candidate.

    So? Laschet is the current chair of the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee. Call me crazy, but I guess meeting with influential foreign political figures might have more to do with that than some election a couple of years ago.

    And while he might support Pahlavi, not even his party is unanimously doing so. Meetings of political figures can also be used to voice concerns and criticism.

    Hence, to insinuate that Germany supports him is at best uninformed, at worst malicious.
