Steinbach accused Westerwelle of self-promotion - well, maybe it's true that Westerwelle wants to profile himself (certainly it is so, he is after all a very new Foreign Minister and has to get a profile that says more than "can't speak English").

Someone so outdated is completely out of place there. We are not talking about a vote in the 50s or something, where the mood was even more heated - we are talking about a vote in 1991 ...
