Baerbock doesn't have a PhD, this was about a political book. Guttenberg did plagiarize in his PhD, and that was entire pages almost verbatim from other sources. That was an extremely blatant case.
I haven't seen the new allegations about Baerbock, I only looked at the original set of allegations. This is one of the original alleged instances of plagiarism:
Baerbock:
Der Wettbewerb scheint auch weltweit eröffnet. In Amsterdam ist ein 130 Meter hohes Holzhochaus geplant, in Chicago ein 228 Meter hohes und in Tokia eines mit 350 Metern Höhe
Spiegel:
Und der Rekord dürfte früher oder später ohnehin gebrochen werden: In Amsterdam ist ein 130 Meter hohes Holzhaus geplant, in Chicago ein 228 Meter großes und in Tokio eines mit 350 Meter Höhe.
That was the point where I didn't look further into it. I don't have the time nor interest to look into every case in detail, and if they consider this example plagiarism then I can't really trust their judgement, it's simply different than mine.
And Laschet had plagiarism allegations as well shortly after these ones, those news just disappeared faster.
- notanzaiiswear 5y agoI seem to remember other quotes, in any case, the book only made the news because before that, Baerbock was already in trouble for faking her CV, suggesting qualifications she doesn't really have. At least they were being disputed, I haven't followed the story lately. The book just fed into that story, especially as it was published when she was already in trouble for her CV.
