Schröder offers the dinner, but the Iranian guest spends 6 thousand euros, the former chancellor refuses to pay

The former German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, ended up on the front pages of German newspapers for an unpaid dinner. Schröder reportedly invited a group of friends to the Lakeside restaurant, one of the best in Germany.

The former chancellor, a connoisseur of Italian and French wines, gathered some new friends there, having previously communicated to the restaurant that he would pay for whatever was included in the pre-agreed menu. And as is customary in Germany, Schröder told the guests that he would pay for the drinks as well, but if someone ordered something more, he had to pay for it himself.

But the order of a 41-year-old Iranian businessman who either didn't understand or pretended to understand in order to benefit, went off the schedule. He ordered a wine worth 6 117 euros. At the time of payment, Schröder refused to pay for the wine and the customer did the same.

At that moment, the police intervened and the former chancellor ended up on the front page of Bild and the German media.

A news too 'delicious' for German journalists not to put it on the front pages.

In Germany there is a certain nostalgia for Gerhard Schröder. Disowned by his own party, if not everyone else, he has somehow been isolated from German politics.

Even on official occasions, when he is invited, as soon as he enters, there is silence. At a recent funeral, only former Green minister Jurgen Trittin came up to him and shook his hand, later explaining: “This is a former chancellor! I think completely differently from him about Ukraine, but of course I don't compromise my ideas by saying goodbye".

Despite the isolation, in Olaf Scholz's Germany, Schröder's political flair and genius, the ability to reform as a social democrat and oppose the Americans as he did with Iraq and break the status quo are remembered. Chancellor "Basta e Brioni", as he was called for his economic reforms and love of designer suits, Schröder took office as prime minister 25 years ago. He currently works as a consultant for Russian energy companies, Nord Stream Ag, Rosneft and Gazprom.

In a long interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung, he recounted a detail that speaks volumes about how his former colleagues' attitude towards him has changed.

"When Steinmeier (German president.) said: I will no longer wish Schröder his birthday. That hit me". Steinmeier was Schröder's chief of staff when he was a simple governor. And it is impossible to think of him as president without Schröder, writes Corriere .
