A brother-in-law, a best man, several siblings and a lot of money from the state budget. The problem is known from other parties. This is also evident in the Greens.
No felt grows on the sheep, only wool grows there. And every hair stands for itself, free and untied. You can form the wool into a small cloud by hand, but it is quickly brushed out again with a comb. That only changes when someone wets the wool and moves the fibers. Small barbs stand up through the water, and through the movement they hook together. An opaque braid is created in which nobody knows which hair is connected to which. That’s called felt.

This also exists in politics, which brings us to the Patrick Graichen case. The State Secretary should help find a new boss for the German Energy Agency. The fibers were still fluffy and cloudy. It wasn’t Graichen’s wish to help with the search; a colleague asked him to do so. He was also competent in the matter, having headed a think tank for many years that promoted the energy transition. So he helped. It wasn’t a big deal.
