Media: German presidential candidate Beat Clarfeld paid for the famous slap in the face of Chancellor Kizinger

German presidential candidate from the Left Party, 73-year-old journalist Beat Clarfeld, known for the struggle for the exposure of Nazi criminals after the end of World War II, became famous throughout the world on November 7, 1968.

Then she publicly gave a slap in the face of the third federal chancellor of Germany Kurt Kisinger (1966-1969), accusing him of the Nazi past and indicating that he was a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and worked at the Ministry of Propaganda of the Third Reich. According to the Welt newspaper, published on Wednesday, March 7, these actions of Clarfeld were paid from the GDR.

The publication refers to the official note of Albert Norden, a member of the Politburo of the Socialist Unified Party of Germany (SEPG), which ruled to the east of the Berlin wall, ITAR -TASS reports.

A week after the slap in the face, Norden wrote to the financial directorate of SUPG that Clarzzfeld needs to provide "two thousand German brands (which were in circulation in Germany) for further initiatives."

"For security reasons, this money, according to the official version, will be transferred to her as a fee for an article in a magazine," the note said.

Indeed, a few weeks later, an article appeared in the GDR-Rare magazine, in which Clarsfeld wrote about “democracy in the GDR”, and Germany characterized the monastery of opponents of democracy.

The candidate for the highest state post in an interview with Welt said that "she does not remember this." After the editorial office of the publication sent her at her disposal to the official notes of the SPG, Clarfeld replied: "My goal was to catch Nazi criminals, and in this I found support for the United States, France, Israel and the GDR. It is a pity that the Federal Republic of Germany had no courage. And I never worked on the order of the GDR."

Beat Clarfeld, in the girlishness of Kunzel, was born on February 13, 1939 in Berlin. In 1960, according to the exchange program, she went to work in France, where she met her future husband Serge Clarfeld.
