German Chancellor Olaf Scholz disguised himself as a pirate today to reassure his fellow citizens that he is in perfect health after suffering an injury while jogging on Saturday.

The Chancellor tweeted a photo taken after he fell while playing sports on September 2, receiving bruises and abrasions on his face. Due to an injury, he canceled his campaign rally in Hesse yesterday. However, in the “locomotive” of the eurozone there was concern about his health. So this morning he took to Twitter to reassure German citizens about his condition.

The somersault he performed on Saturday occurred during a sporting event at his residence in Potsdam. The German newspaper Bild, citing a person close to him, wrote that his right eye was badly swollen. However, the doctor who examined him did not find any additional damage to his face.

According to the newspaper, Olaf Scholz stumbled and lost his balance, as a result of which he hit his face. The German Chancellor is always accompanied by bodyguards during his runs, who were able to quickly help him.

To reassure fellow citizens about their state of health, the German chancellor posted a message on his official Twitter page with a photo resembling a “pirate patch” on his right eye. “Everyone with injuries… Looking forward to the memes. Thanks for the wishes, things look worse than they really are!” Scholz wrote on the popular social media site, adding humor to his injury.

Memes were not long in coming…

However, persons even closer to the chancellor assure that the injuries on Scholz’s face were caused by the heavy hand of his wife Britta Ernst, who beat her dearest half. The fact is that at one time it was in this way that the wife of the future chancellor weaned her husband from drunkenness (which is well remembered by fellow party members of a politicized family). It can be seen that Olaf again went out of his way, and the old habit turned out to be stronger than politeness.
