FDP empört über Steinbrücks Stinkefinger

Philipp Roesler, the young leader of Germany's Free Democrats (FDP), looked like a dead man walking at the start of the year, until he took a major risk that turned his and his party's fortunes around. His party, which shares power with Angela Merkel's conservatives, was in freefall, and rivals were planning a putsch, fearful the FDP would be booted out of government in a September election with Roesler at the helm. Then, the man many in Berlin had dismissed as a political lightweight, caught the plotters on the hop by offering to resign, a day after the FDP had confounded pollsters by doing well in a regional vote. They backed down and pledged their loyalty instead. TO GO WITH STORY GERMANY-ELECTION/FDP REUTERS/Thomas Peter (GERMANY - Tags: POLITICS PROFILE ELECTIONS)
Im Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin zeigte der Kanzlerkandidat eine eindeutige Geste.
FDP-Chef Philipp Rösler hat SPD-Kanzlerkandidat Peer Steinbrück wegen eines Fotos mit erhobenem Mittelfinger scharf kritisiert. "So etwas geht nicht", sagte Rösler am Donnerstagabend am Rande einer Veranstaltung in Mainz. "Die Geste verbietet sich als Kanzlerkandidat", fügte Rösler hinzu.

Steinbrück sollte in einem Interview ohne Worte auf die Frage antworten: "Pannen-Peer, Problem-Peer, Peerlusconi - um nette Spitznamen müssen Sie sich keine Sorgen machen, oder?".
Steinbrück zeigte daraufhin die deutliche Geste.
Der Chefredekteur des Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazins, Michael Ebert, sagte zu Reuters: "Peer Steinbrück hat das Motiv wie jedes andere, das im Magazin abgedruckt ist", freigegeben."
