Das Magazin „Focus“ gibt zu seinem Artikel über den Wortwechsel zwischen Olaf Scholz und Joe Chialo keine Unterlassungserklärung ab. Es stimme alles, so wie es berichtet wurde.
Olaf Scholz accused *Focus* magazine of using a false quote where he allegedly referred to CDU politician Joe Chialo as "the Black" and "fig leaf." Scholz's legal representative argued that the quote was misrepresented, asserting that Scholz only used the terms "Hofnarr" (court jester) and "Feigenblatt" (fig leaf). *Focus* defended their reporting, stating the quote was accurately presented as an indirect statement and no false quote was used. They rejected Scholz's demands for a retraction and correction. Scholz apologized, stating he didn't intend the remarks to be racist, but others criticized his words as derogatory and hurtful.
