Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The CDU top candidate for the state elections, Susanne Eisenmann, has asked the member of the Bundestag, Nikolas Löbel, who resigned in the mask affair, to donate the commission for the questionable business.
You have the expectation that Löbel donate the money to a non-profit organization, said the Minister of Education on Monday evening in the online duel of the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” with Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens).
"I hope that he will follow this too."
The behavior of the Mannheim politician was "deeply harmful".
"It's just not right."
Löbel's company is said to have collected commissions of around 250,000 euros because it brokered purchase contracts for corona protective masks between a Baden-Württemberg supplier and two private companies in Heidelberg and Mannheim.
After severe criticism, Löbel left the CDU on Monday and immediately withdrew from parliament.
When asked whether she could rule out that other Union MPs were involved in the affair, Eisenmann said: "I hope not."
She added: "I cannot put my hand in the fire for everyone."
In addition to Löbel, the MP Georg Nüßlein stumbled upon the mask affair.
He has since resigned from the CSU.
CSU boss Markus Söder had also asked the two of them to donate the money they earned with the business.

Kretschmann said the affair was of course a burden on democracy.
“The good thing is that in a few days he had to resign.
Somebody like that cannot stay in office.
That shows that there is a control. "
He doubted Löbel's strength of character.
The former head of the Junge Union said in the election campaign before the state elections in 2016: “A decrepit prime minister is running for re-election.
And each of us knows: He won't last five years. "
That was impossible.
