  "account": "Berlin - CDU politician Philipp Amthor, 33, has been drawing attention with a joke involving a beach chair on the balcony of the Chancellor's office. In the recently released second season of the ZDF documentary \"Inside CDU,\" Amthor is seen placing the beach chair on the balcony of his office in the Chancellor's building. Laughing, he remarks, \"Yes, that looks great,\" as the beach chair rolls out onto the balcony. He goes on to explain how it could be used for relaxation, adding, \"In the unlikely event that I use it for relaxation, I can still roll it into the Kanzlergarten.\" Amthor had already been recognized as a political talent and a political attraction before his move to the Chancellor's office. At just 24, he was first elected to the Bundestag in 2017, serving as Digital State Secretary until recently, and now as State Minister for State-Country Relations in the Chancellor's office, having been in the position for less than two months. Hailing from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Amthor is surrounded by beach chairs on the beaches along the Baltic Sea.",
