German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been criticized for his response to questions about supplying Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. During a public interaction in Lüneburg, Scholz laughed off inquiries about why Germany has not provided these missiles to Kyiv, citing the need for control over their usage. Scholz's reaction, which included laughter, has drawn criticism from both the German opposition and the public. The opposition expressed irritation at his demeanor, emphasizing that certain weapons require strict controls and are not subject to casual debate. This controversy comes amid recent attacks on Germany's defense industries and political figures, including the hospitalization of Matthias Ecke, who was attacked while campaigning for the European parliamentary elections, raising concerns about security and foreign policy decisions.
