Saarbrücken (AP) - The Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans has called for all cases to be clarified in which MPs may have personally enriched themselves by taking advantage of the Corona crisis.
«You have to explain it.
You have to look: Where could that possibly have been the case? ”Said the CDU politician on Monday in front of the state parliament in Saarbrücken.
"Everything has to be on the table now."
The members of the Bundestag Georg Nüßlein (CSU) and Nikolas Löbel (CDU) are said to have collected six-figure commissions for arranging mask business.
Both have announced their exit from the Union parliamentary group, but want to keep their mandate, although the party and parliamentary group leaders are demanding their withdrawal.
It is “simply unbearable” when MPs “have personally enriched themselves, have received commissions in some mask deals,” said Hans, referring to Nüßlein and Löbel.
"There has been some misconduct here," said Hans.
"And that is not acceptable for German parliamentarism."
If one cannot do justice to this, "then one has to draw conclusions and give the mandate back to the citizens".

Confidence in politics is "the greatest good in this pandemic".
"And if people cannot trust us because there are some of us who have personally enriched themselves, then that is unbearable and it has to be clarified."
