Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner advocates for the Bundestag’s presence on TikTok
Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner has expressed her desire for the Bundestag to have a presence on the popular video platform, TikTok. As reported by the “Rheinischen Post” (Saturday edition), Klöckner believes that it is essential for the Bundestag to be present on social media platforms like TikTok to reach a wider audience, particularly the younger demographic.
Klöckner explained, “There is already a successful Instagram account for the Bundestag. I believe it is necessary for the Bundestag to be represented on other platforms such as TikTok.” She further emphasized that it is the duty of the Bundestag to reach these platforms in an appropriate manner. Klöckner’s primary objective is to bring the work of the Bundestag closer to younger target groups through social media channels.
In addition to advocating for the Bundestag’s presence on TikTok, Klöckner has also announced her intention to make the Bundestag more family-friendly. She believes that it is crucial to encourage more women to engage in the realm of politics and to achieve this, she suggests providing facilities such as childcare for members of parliament during parliamentary sessions. Klöckner also emphasized the need for the Bundestag to become more modern and digitally advanced, including in the way votes are cast.
