While the Greens will continue to be represented in the state parliament in Saxony with 5.1 percent, they will be thrown out of parliament in Thuringia. In the green heart of Germany, the party only received 3.2 percent. A devastating result. At the Greens' election party in Dresden, party leader Ricarda Lang was visibly dismayed and had tears in her eyes when the first forecasts were announced.

Internet attacks Green Party leader – fake video exposed

A video on social media that is supposed to show this moment is causing a stir. “The slap hit home. Every crying #Green makes me happy,” writes one X-User to the recordings. And others also delight in the sight of the Green politician. “This facial expression goes down like a big piece of cream butter cake,” says one Tweet“The sugary lower lip is too delicious. Like a small child who doesn't understand why he doesn't get what he wants,” says another X user. But there's something wrong with the video: the twitching of the lips and the facial expressions seem unnatural.

The recording is said to be from the “ZDF Morning Magazine” on September 2nd, 2024 at 5.44 a.m. If you watch the program in the ZDF Media Library(from 0:32) It quickly becomes clear that the video on social media was obviously edited and manipulated afterwards. Although Ricarda Lang has tears in her eyes, in the original video she neither twitches her lower lip nor does she raise her eyebrows.
