The German leader's garbage bags were torn from Füchsen, causing strictly secret documents to remain scattered on the street

Strictly secret German government documents were found scattered in front of the Chancellor's private apartment after his garbage bags had been torn down.

Olaf Scholz was criticized for disposing of confidential information in the garbage after neighbors in Potsdam on the outskirts of Berlin had found several papers marked as confidential on the street in front of their house.

The documents mainly refer to the Chancellor's wife Britta Ernst, Minister of Culture of the State of Brandenburg, whose capital is Potsdam.

The neighbors told German media that at first glance it was clear that the not talked documents were government reviews that were not strictly intended for the public.

The garbage, which was seen by German media, contained an information note created by the Federal Foreign Office of the country with information about the upcoming G7 summit, including details about each of the partners of the G7 leaders.

The note contained specific discussion points about Carrie Johnson, the wife of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, including that she had studied art and had a history of environmental activism.

The couple under fire in Germany, whereby several media sources questioned the decision to dispose of the documents in this way, as both have several decades of experience in politics and public service.

The German mirror said that the Federal Chancellor and his wife had "apparently a relaxed relationship to confidential documents", while the boulevard newspaper picture on the recycling habits of the couple and wrote: "In the Scholz house, you don't take it very seriously when it comes to the topic - especially not when it comes to confidentiality".

Scholz, who took up his office in December 2021, has been suspended in the past few months of national and international criticism, since the cost of living rose steeply and the Ukrainian troops were obviously not properly supplied with heavy weapons despite promised support.

The Scholz government is also increasingly under pressure in the coming winter in view of the likely gas shortage, since Germany depends heavily on Russian gas as an energy source.
