Searches in the state parliament: CDU, SPD and AfD suspected!
In a surprising outcry of the current political landscape, invasive searches in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt were carried out today. Investigators took a close look at the offices of MPs, the parties are affected by the CDU, SPD and AfD. Details on the specific reasons for these searches have so far not been published, as reported Bild . It remains to be seen how this situation will develop.
This investigation cannot be considered isolated. The CDU had previously been concerned about possible procedures against MPs for sedition. This is addressed in detail by Spiegel where a creeping erosion of political reputation is reported. Such processes raise questions about how solid the structure of our political system actually is.
The shadows of corruption
Another unpleasant aspect of this situation is related to the case of the CDU member of the Bundestag Axel E. Fischer, whose office was already searched in March. The Federal Criminal Police Office sees an initial suspicion of bribery that is in connection with the so-called masking affair, in which MPs may have achieved illegal advantages in terms of corona protection masks. MPwatch into account in their analysis that a total of at least nine members of the Bundestag are involved in corruption-like procedures.
The revelations experienced can have tragic consequences, especially if you consider that the Bundestag has already lifted the immunity of MPs in this legislative period 22 times - a number that is far above the values in the two previous legislative periods. This shows an alarming trend that raises questions about the integrity of the MPs in the population.
a worrying trend
The fact that there is no clear explanation for this increase in procedures is also politically discussed. A press representative of the Bundestag could also notify anything concrete for the reasons. It remains unclear whether this is a general problem in political culture or whether these are individual cases that undermine trust in the institutions. In view of these events, politics is in the terminal - the allegations have to be taken seriously, and at the same time it is important to keep civil society up to date on ongoing developments. The coming days will therefore be decisive to bring light into the dark.| Details | |
