CDU Politician Faces Fresh Accusations: Public Announcement Issued by Caroline Bosbach
In a recent turn of events, CDU politician Caroline Bosbach finds herself embroiled in a controversy over allegations of vote buying and cash payments in relation to internal party elections in her Rheinisch-Bergischer district.
The accusations suggest that Bosbach, who entered the Bundestag after the federal election, promised or made payments and offered free hospitality to secure votes for a position within the Middle Class and Economic Union (MIT) in 2023. These allegations are particularly concerning as they involve payments around 90 to 100 euros and influence the election of the leadership team, which included Bosbach herself.
Bosbach has publicly denied these allegations through a video message and an email to CDU members. However, her explanations have been deemed insufficient by her party's local leadership. The CDU Kreisverband has given her an ultimatum to clarify the allegations by August 8, 2025, and has stated that they do not tolerate any unlawful or inappropriate conduct from elected officials.
Bosbach has chosen not to attend some meetings for questioning and has only responded in writing. The local CDU executive has planned further meetings to demand answers.
There are also indications that some perceive the scandal as potentially fueled or exploited by right-wing extremist campaigns, adding a layer of political intrigue to the controversy.
In response to the allegations, Bosbach has decided not to attend any election campaign events until the accusations are clarified, especially given the current NRW municipal election campaign.
The circle board has decided to hand over all documents to the Cologne public prosecutor's office for an independent review. The outcome of this review will likely shed more light on the matter.
This development comes as CDU Finance Minister Bayaz recently stated that those who study should work until the end of 60, a statement not directly related to the current topic.
As the investigation continues, Bosbach and the CDU party will be under close scrutiny, with the public eagerly awaiting a resolution to this complex issue.
