JĂĽrgen RĂĽttgers



JĂĽrgen RĂĽttgers (born June 26, 1951 in Cologne) is a German politician (CDU) and Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, widely known for his views on immigration and the famous phrase "Kinder statt Inder" ("children instead of Indians") which was a media interpretation of "Statt Inder an die Computer mĂĽssen unsere Kinder an die Computer" ("instead of Indians in front of computers, our children must be in front of computers"), at a time when immigrants from India were feared to come by the thousands to Germany. His opinions on the superiority of the Christian religion, which he expressed in a TV talk-show were also a reason for headlines lately.
