How do you get from a field in Seevetal near Hamburg to the next election date after a rally? Sure, you fly.
The Union’s candidate for chancellor, Armin Laschet, did the same. In the midst of the stress of the election campaign (today in Northern Germany: Hamburg, Celle, Bremen …), the 63-year-old switched to a noble helicopter at noon.
Put your cell phone on your ear before departure. Before the helicopter took off, Laschet smoked one of his beloved cigarillos (9.20 euros per pack)Photo: BILDLIVE
More precisely: a Eurocopter EC 120B Colibri (new price: 1.5 million euros; space for 4 passengers and two pilots) Owner: a Ferrari dealer from Hanover.

The next appointment is in Bremen at 200 to 280 km / hPhoto: BILDLive
Background: As Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Laschet is allowed to use police helicopters; in addition, a special regulation applies during the election campaign that the Bundeswehr can also be used when the armed forces are ready to fly. In addition, it happens again and again that helicopters are chartered by the election campaign teams.
Everything is fine if it is registered and identified.
