German political group proposes buying Mallorca
Published: | Updated:
The youth wing of a German political party has put forward a cheeky and audacious proposal to buy the entire Spanish island of Mallorca. The Ulm-Biberach branch of Junge Liberale (Young Liberals) raised eyebrows after it proposed to bringing the party island into German control.
'In doing so, we are assuming responsibility for an island that has long been a cultural part of our lives, providing legal certainty for the many Germans living there, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy.'
The account denied that the post was satirical in a comment underneath. The post, which had the hashtag '#trump', was immediately compared to the US president's bid to buy Greenland.
