Football Legends' Names Spark Laughter in Düsseldorf Parliament Prank

A lighthearted prank during a plenary session saw football stars listed as speakers, leading to a humorous moment in the Düsseldorf Landtag.

The prank involved listing football stars Toni Kroos, Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Müller as speakers during a parliamentary session.
Deputy President Christof Rasche read the names aloud, acknowledging the lack of speaking time for the 'speakers' as the session concluded.
The names were humorously added to the list with 'FCB' for FC Bayern, despite Kroos currently playing for Real Madrid.
Rasche embraced the joke, commenting that 'Democracy needs humor,' reflecting a lighthearted approach to the incident.
The Landtag is considering whether to include the prank in the official session records, highlighting the playful spirit of the event.
