According to Der Spiegel, Twitter users drew parallels between a part of the politician's book and the work of political scientist Karsten Weizenegger.The candidate from the ruling Christian Democratic Union party added that the book would be further reviewed to determine whether "there are other mistakes."Earlier this month, Laschet's rival, Annalena Baerbock of the Green party, admitted that she, too, had failed to list sources used in a new book.
