After Putin binge: Schröder celebrates birthday at aristocratic bank Rothschild
Now former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder is allowed to celebrate his birthday at the expense of the aristocratic Rothschild Bank. The private banking group hosts a celebration in the Taunus. Apparently also with Russian representation.
On invitation of the private bank group Rothschild celebrates former Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD) on (today) Monday evening its 70th birthday in the Taunus. The group arranges a private dinner for Schröder, said a speaker. The group did not give any details about the guest list. The "Frankfurter Neue Presse" had reported that Schröder was planning another celebration with Russian friends.
The guest list for the party at the Schlosshotel Kronberg in Taunus also included the name of the Russian ambassador to Germany, Vladimir Grinin, the report said. A confirmation for it was not to be received however first. According to the report, the guests are to be far predominantly representatives of the German economy.
The Rothschild spokesman said Schröder has been a member of the group's international circle of advisors since 2006. Schröder had drawn criticism at the end of April with a birthday party in St. Petersburg and a warm embrace with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin in the midst of the Ukraine crisis.
