Social media users shared a video from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's visit to the Albanian capital, Tirana, where he experienced an embarrassing moment on the red carpet. After exiting his car, Chancellor Scholz walked on the red carpet, surprising everyone by stepping off of it and heading in the wrong direction. When he realized his mistake, he waved humorously with his hand and returned to the correct path towards Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who was waiting for him.
Many people compared Scholz to U.S. President Joe Biden, who often gets lost and finds himself in awkward situations during official events. One commenter joked about "Biden syndrome." Another user wrote, "There are no red lines for him." Some users sympathized with the situation, noting that the German Chancellor is merely a person engaged in politics during difficult times.
