Prominent figures are playing a significant role in Germany's election campaigns, sparking debates about their influence.

Celebrities like Roland Kaiser and Dieter Hallervorden have long supported political parties, with Kaiser backing the SPD and Hallervorden advocating for the FDP.

Meanwhile, the CDU has enlisted stars like Heino and Ralf Moeller to promote Friedrich Merz.

However, this trend has drawn criticism, with some arguing that celebrity endorsements can alienate voters by appearing out of touch with everyday concerns.

Philosophers like Peter Sloterdijk have also weighed in, criticizing various parties and questioning the effectiveness of such endorsements.

While some believe these efforts can energize campaigns, others warn they might backfire, as seen in past U.

S. elections.

The impact of these star-studded campaigns remains uncertain.
