Neuruppin (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) appeared in an election campaign with the SPD candidate Nico Ruhle in the mayoral election campaign in Neuruppin.
The Berlin "BZ" reported on Sunday on the Internet.
SPD General Secretary Erik Stohn told the German Press Agency: “That was simply overlooked.
It was removed from the network immediately after being informed.
The photo opportunity only came about last week.
This Sunday, the runoff election between incumbent Jens-Peter Golde (Pro Ruppin) and Ruhle was due.
Woidke is the SPD state chairman and head of government.
CDU parliamentary group leader Jan Redmann told the "BZ": "Election recommendations in an official capacity are a clear violation of the government members' rule of neutrality."
The chairman of the Greens, Julia Schmidt, told the newspaper: «That Prime Minister Woidke, of all people, violates the required neutrality of public officials is not possible!
We will make that clear to him in the coalition. "
In their coalition agreement, the SPD, CDU and the Greens wrote: "In its work, the state government will make a consistent distinction between official government action and campaign publicity."
