Saxony-Anhalt’s Prime Minister takes the matter with humor
–
With a single letter accidentally tweeted, Saxony-Anhalt’s Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) pulverized his previous reach record on Twitter. The head of the Magdeburg Kenya coalition tweeted a simple “Ä” on Thursday evening and thus achieved more than 5,000 likes and a good 2,000 retweets and quoted tweets in the first two and a half hours.

Haseloff on his followers: “Interesting reaction”
–
Haseloff took the matter with humor: “What a randomly sent individual letter generates interesting reactions,” he tweeted a good half an hour later and put a winking smiley behind it. With this, Haseloff immediately landed the tweet with the second most “Like” information on his eleven-year-old personal account.

The Christian Democrat is not used to such storms of enthusiasm on Twitter, his tweets usually reach two to three-digit interaction numbers. The previous record tweet on the account was dated March 8th last year. With a digital greeting card in pink for International Women’s Day, he had received more than 500 likes and around 600 retweets and quoted tweets by Thursday evening.

In addition to the many likes, the “Ä” also caused plenty of malice and peaks from political competitors. Others made references to art and culture. “Definitely his best book”, commented one user and tweeted the cover picture of the book of the same name by Max Goldt. Another wrote: “Well, I think it’s cool that Mr. Haseloff is so unreservedly committed to the best band in the world!”. The doctors from Berlin, described by themselves and their fans as the best band in the world, like to use the Ä in word games and merchandise products.
