Because of his controversial statements on the Corona strategy, the Munich business ethicist Christoph Lütge was dismissed from the Bavarian ethics council of the state government.
"The reason for this was repeated public statements by Professor Lütge, which cannot be reconciled with the responsible work in the ethics council and could damage the reputation of the committee in the long term," said a spokesman for the state government in Munich on Friday.
Several media had previously reported on it.
The cabinet made the decision unanimously on February 2nd.
The Bavarian Ethics Council advises Prime Minister Markus Söder and the state government on important future issues.
The so far 18-member committee headed by the former Munich regional bishop Susanne Breit-Keßler was set up on October 1, 2020.
According to reports, other members had repeatedly been angry about statements by Lütge and complained to the state government.
In addition, it was said that he had also given the impression that he was expressing his critical remarks on behalf of the body.

Lütge's Twitter account contains many negative statements about the lockdown strategy of the federal and state governments.
“Today's resolutions are stunned.
Just stunned.
Don't Merkel, Söder and Co. notice how much the mood has long since shifted? "
At the end of January he tweeted: “I think the politics in this country are 'disturbing', which for months have been constantly creating new threats and spreading fear and panic.
That is irresponsible. "
