General meeting of Hamburger SV: A former capo is now HSV president

From the curve to the top of the club: Hamburger SV elects former lead singer Henrik Köncke as its new president – ​​with a voter turnout of less than one percent of all members.

Every democratic election produces easily memorable campaign slogans. Olaf Scholz was elected to the Chancellor's office with the catchphrase "Respect," Robert Habeck has temporarily ruined his political career with the rather empty phrase "alliance politics," Barack Obama once signaled a new beginning with the promise of "Yes, we can!", only to be overturned by Donald Trump's world-famous MAGA counter-promise. In this light, the candidates for the presidency at the Hamburg Sports Club on Saturday had nothing to be ashamed of. The slogan of the election winner, Henrik Köncke, could certainly have come from the same marketing agencies as those of the statesmen. It read: "Together. For each other. Together for HSV."
