Calumny
Below, some German enemies of the Green Party and the German Foreign Minister write outhright slander or calumny. The accusal of a series of scandals and plagiarism without substantial proof belongs to this strategy.

As non-sensical as that BS is, might as well be bots... but yes, obviously Russian based misinformation strategies. Wikipedia needs to be on high alert about this.

I agree, especially considering that no English-speaking sites covered the "news." If it had any sort of relevancy, at least some website would have mentioned it, but (at least from what I could google) no articles in English seem to have covered the matter.

I have no idea what this was about, but I've been reading about "Kobolds" in German news everywhere and started to wonder. If this dies down again, I guess it's fine to keep it out - it's not particular encyclopedic, but at least in one person (me) it lead to confusion and an entry at Wikipedia would have been helpful

That specific incident isn't necessarily something that belong into Wikipedia on its own, but the slips of her tongue are somewhat legendary. In another occasion she said something about perishing Europe (verenden) instead of changing it (verändern).

"Evangelical church" misleading
In the USA, evangelical Christians are an important force in politics, and at first glance I was shocked to read that Annalena Baerbock identifies as evangelical. In fact, she probably belongs to the Lutheran Church like many people in Northern Germany. They are very moderate and many members have become secularized.
If she is indeed a member of the Lutheran Church within the union "Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland", then it would be better to use this term and avoid "evangelical" in English. In German she is "evangelisch" and not "evangelikal", but this distinction does not exist in English, I think.
For example, there is no risk that she might believe the Earth to be roughly ten thousand years old, though the current wording may suggest just that.

@
Aecur: I understand your concern. However, the church itself calls itself "Evangelical Church in Germany" (see their English language website for reference), so per
WP:COMMONNAME, I think it will have to stand as it is. Also, the wikilink provides context.

She frequently goes to church. I think it is wrong translation from ZEIT. She wanted to say, she stays in the church organisation. But this does not mean she goes frequently to the church service, also because she says, she is not believing. Regards--

According to German doctoral law, you cannot abandon a doctoral thesis. Once one has been admitted to the doctorate and withdraw it, you are considered to have failed.
There is no "German doctoral law", the rules are different even between different faculties at the same university. At all universities that I am aware of, if you don't submit a thesis, your Promotionsverfahren doesn't get started and so you can't fail it. —

"She is also its candidate for Chancellor of Germany in the 2021 federal election, being considered the first such candidate for the Greens with a serious chance of winning this high office."
