The election campaign in Baden-Württemberg has entered a phase of sharp personal clashes and image crises. Manuel Hagel, the Christian Democratic leader, has become an object of ridicule after an unfortunate statement about the greenhouse effect during a school visit. Simultaneously, the CDU accuses the Grüne Jugend organization of using defamatory methods in a phone campaign targeting the candidate. This situation is straining relations between the current coalition partners just before the vote.
The final stretch of the election campaign in Baden-Württemberg is marked by serious image problems for the CDU candidate, Manuel Hagel. The main reason for the wave of criticism was the politician's visit to a school, where he tried to explain the mechanisms of climate change to students. However, Hagel demonstrated a glaring lack of factual knowledge, incorrectly claiming that the sun becomes hotter when the atmosphere thins. This statement, quickly spread on social media, triggered a torrent of mockery from political opponents and internet users. Commentators point out that such a fundamental error in a region strongly focused on education and modern technology could seriously harm Hagel's aspirations to become the state premier. During the same meeting, there was also a tense exchange between the politician and one of the teachers, which further worsened the reception of his appearance. Parallel to the factual blunder, the campaign has been dominated by a sharp dispute over political tactics. <przypis title=
