The majority voted for Frank-Walter Steinmeier to become the next president of Germany. The number of voters is huge.

The president was voted by a council formed by Parliament members. Steinmeier received 1260 votes.

The newest leader is known for his opposition against US president Donald Trump. During his campaign from last year, Steinmeier was one of his toughest critics.

He is totally against the ones that “make politics with fear”. Some of these actions are Brexit and Donald Trump’s presidency. He called him one of the ‘hate preachers’.

The new president is also against the right-wing populism, that seems to rise in his country and not only.

As a post from Germany says, he is the “anti-Trump president”.

Although the president in Germany does not have a great executive power, he is still an authority.

As he held a speech after winning, the president said to his nations that they no longer have to fear about the future. He is aware of the fact that the world is going through tough times, his democratic country will try to create stability.

Steinmeier thinks that Germany has developed a lot. After the war years, it has managed to become a symbol of hope, who is constantly fighting for this cause.

Angela Merkel is convinced he will be a great president. She congratulated him.

Another great personality that congratulated Steinmeier on his new position is Vladimir Putin. The Russian President is sure the new leader will work to create a strong connection with his country.

Putin wants to work with Steinmeier for ensuring stability worldwide. He invited the German president to Kremlin.

The president used to be a foreign minister and is very popular.
