Customs: Düsseldorf fools mocking the chancellor, church and AfD

A chancellor without a brain and the Russian Orthodox Church at the feet of Putin: On Rose Monday, the Düsseldorf carnivalists revealed the secret about their motto floats, which had previously been kept top secret. The wagons from the team led by wagon builder Jacques Tilly were seen publicly for the first time on Monday morning when they rolled from the depot to the location of the Düsseldorf Rose Monday procession.

A chancellor without a brain and the Russian Orthodox Church at the feet of Putin: On Rose Monday, the Düsseldorf carnivalists revealed the secret about their motto floats, which had previously been kept top secret.

You can see a papier-mâché version of Donald Trump defacing the national flag of the USA into a swastika flag. A fool unmasks the AfD – and behind the mask an evil grimace with a Hitler mustache appears.

The many demonstrations against right-wing extremism can also be found in the “Zoch”: A colorful school of fish with the inscription “We are more” has formed and is about to eat a dark-looking blue-brown fish.

Another theme car is about how the climate crisis is trying to get media attention, which from a fool’s perspective last year was entirely focused on the wars on the planet. Speaking of war: The Middle East conflict can also be found on the theme floats: in the form of a Hamas fighter who pushes civilians between himself and an Israeli tank.

The hospitals, which are groaning under a huge cost block, can groan a little more at the fools: At the top of the block is Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD).

The fools still have fun for Düsseldorf’s former mayor Thomas Geisel: after moving from the SPD to the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance (BSW), he is allowed to wear the train of a monarch: “Sahra’s new Wagenknecht”. The cars from Tilly’s workshop have repeatedly received international attention in recent years.
