German President Joachim Gauck has informed the Kremlin that due to Russia’s human rights abuses, including their “gay propaganda” law, he will not be attending the Sochi Olympic Games.
Sometimes in life, you stumble over someone you really really like sight unseen, and I really, really like Joachim Gauck, the president of Germany. According to Der Spiegel, the man they call the “president with the heart” announced yesterday that he informed the Kremlin last week that he will not attend the Olympic Games in February, as a protest to Russia’s human rights abuses. He called it a “moral decision”.
