The SPD wants to use an independent transparency officer to bring more clarity into the questionable mask deals of Union MPs.
"It's also a bit about the reputation of the Bundestag, that's why I want (...) this investigator to act," said the parliamentary manager of the SPD parliamentary group, Carsten Schneider, on Wednesday morning in the ARD "Morgenmagazin".
"The President of the Bundestag should present that and then, I think, you get a pacification of the entire situation."
According to "Spiegel" information, the first parliamentary directors of the parliamentary groups of the Union and SPD will discuss possible further consequences of the so-called mask affair on Wednesday.
The commissioner should, among other things, explain the connection between MPs and the respective company, as it is called in a draft resolution of the SPD, which is available to the "Spiegel".
Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) announced last week that he wanted to make public the names of all MPs who were involved in brokering business with protective equipment in the corona pandemic.
"Mr. Spahn should please take care of the vaccination," said Schneider.

"The moral compass in the SPD is right," said the parliamentary manager.
According to Schneider, the fact that there are similar cases among members of his party.
“But I can't imagine that for the SPD.
We don't have any cases like this, ”he said.
