Berlin: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opened a TikTok account on Monday, promising he would not be caught dancing on the social media platform popular with young people.
The newest official government channel "increases the information offer to citizens, who increasingly inform themselves and discuss politics on TikTok", Scholz's spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said in a statement.
The account will offer "a look behind the scenes of everyday government life", Hebestreit said.
The chancellor himself made light of the new outreach on another social media channel.
"I will not dance. Promised," Scholz said on X.
