9. SOUNDBITE (German) Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor:
“And I will also continue to decide that dangerous weapons that can reach far and deep into Russian territory do not contribute to being a peacekeeping measure from Germany now. I think that’s wrong.”
10. Wide of Scholz on stage, audience applauding
11. SOUNDBITE (German) Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor:
“It is right that we follow closely what the most powerful democracy in the world is doing (incoming US administration), which is our most important ally. That has been the case in recent decades and will be the case in the decades to come. At the same time, we must ensure that we decide our own future here in Germany and here in Europe. That’s what a social democratic chancellor stands for.”

13. SOUNDBITE (German) Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor:
“The thing with Greenland is not a joke. And that’s why I did something you have to do when you’re the head of government of the largest European country, namely not to remain silent.”
14. Wide of Scholz speaking on podium
15. SOUNDBITE (German) Olaf Scholz, German Chancellor:
“We’ll see what happens (with regards to Greenland). And we’ve all been listening. And that’s why there’s one thing that’s very important to me: that we stay together as a European Union. That one country doesn’t think they can’t see us, to put it this way or it’s not my turn at the moment. But that we act together. And I believe that is also possible. We don’t know. But we have to be prepared and utilise this opportunity. But it’s part of it: a straightforward attitude, coolness and community. And we should organise that.”

“On 23 February: vote SPD. Give me a new mandate. Thank you very much.”
