Pearse Dohery gets it wrong on the German government

Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty speaking on Drivetime today referred to the German government as a conservative government. And said it with such confidence and certitude. I doubt German chancellor Olaf Scholz would agree, indeed, I doubt not one of the 80 million citizens would agree. And not a word of correction, surprise or questioning from interviewer Sarah McInerney.

The current German government is a rainbow coalition of the SDP, The Greens and the FDP with the Social Democrats the lead party in the government.

The official opposition is the CDU with its sister Bavarian party the CSU.
