The world -renowned Greek singer, when she learned, a few hours before her scheduled concert in a Castle in Bavaria, did not cheer her words that she was going to attend the German far -right co -president, Alice Videl. Without spinning, Vicky Leandros sent a clear message to the organizers of the Schlossfestspiel Festival in Regensburg that the host’s guest, Princess Gloria von Therne Ud Taxis, is not welcomed in her own music event. She would cancel her concert, so as not to be used by the far -right.
According to German media, the famous artist made it clear to the blue -eyed that he would not appear on stage if the head of AfD is on site. A short time later, the invitation to Weidel was recalled and the concert was held normally.
Leandros’ reference to her childhood as an immigrant to Germany
Speaking to the Bild newspaper, Leandros reiterated everything she said during her concert about the incident, which had already become known: “I am always in favor of diversity, tolerance, human dignity, human rights and international solidarity. I came from Athens to Germany, when I was five years old and German society embraced me. So I want all people to live, with respect and freedom to be happy. “
The well -known singer emphasized that although she recognizes Videl’s institutional status, she has nothing in common with her political positions. “Alice Weidel is an elected politician. However, I am not uniting me with values and beliefs, “she said, stressing that” I do not allow my scene to become a tool of such rhetoric and political. “
Widel watched the concert “wrong”?
Bild’s report, however, implies that Widel was finally there. Specifically, a photo shows her drinking champagne next to Therne Ud Taxis in the Castle, while the Ladadros concert was ongoing in the garden of the flagship building. Weidel had previously stated that, despite the invitation, she would not attend the show or the festival restaurant, “not to spoil the evening to the guests”.
According to Bild information, Widel had already arrived on Sunday and is said to have spent the night in the Castle. He was there during the concert and it is said that I did not meet the singer.
Gloria von Thers and Taxis defended Weidel’s invitation, as she personally knows her, noting that the invitation was purely private.
