How does the author use the example from "Die Feuerzangenbowle" to support the claim of a lack of moral maturity among politicians?

The article contrasts Lindner's behavior with the ideal of "sittliche Reife" (moral maturity) as envisioned by Hegel, where it is linked to participation in family, society, and state. The author suggests that politicians' immature behavior undermines the concept of moral maturity in the political sphere, hindering constructive political action. The comparison to the film scene further highlights how immaturity is used to excuse wrongdoings, even at the highest levels of government.
