Hitler no role model for any politician - German Envoy

German Ambassador to Sri Lanka Dr. Holger Seibert has said that Hitler is no ‘role model’ model for any politician. In a statement on his official Twitter account he said. “I am hearing claims that ‘a Hitler’ could be beneficial to Sri Lanka today.

 

Let me remind those voices that Adolf Hitler was responsible for human suffering and despair beyond imagination, with millions of deaths. Definitely no role model for any politician”.

 

The Ambassador was reacting to a statement by State Minister Dilum Amunugama. Amunugama told the media that 690,000 people who voted for Gotabaya Rajapaksa expected a ruler like Hitler.

 

‘The Government is being criticized for not seeing the Hitler they hoped for’, he said.
