Berlin (dpa) - The chairman of the left parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Dietmar Bartsch, has criticized the CDU Bundestag member Nikolas Löbel after his announced withdrawal from politics.

Bartsch responded on Sunday via Twitter to Löbel's declaration that he would resign his parliamentary mandate at the end of August and also no longer run for the next Bundestag.

"Overdue!

CDU mask scandal Löbel withdraws from politics, ”wrote Bartsch.

“But not resigning the Bundestag mandate until six months later obviously has to do with pension entitlements.

Still a benefit optimizer. "
