Official denies German FM labeled US a "police state"
IRNA -- A German foreign ministry spokesman here Monday strongly denied alleged statements by German deputy foreign minister, Juergen Chrobog, calling the United States a "police state".
| "Nope. Nope. Never said it. Nope. Wudn't me..." |
"That's totally unfounded and absurd. That does not correspond to the fact," Walter Lindner said during a news conference. German media quoted Chrobog as saying during an internal lecture to ex-German ambassadors that the US was heading towards a "police state". Chrobog was also Germany's ambassador to the US from 1995 until 2001.
