Allegations' resolution set as timeline by CDU, as demanded by Caroline Bosbach - CDU Sets Demand for Clear Denial of Charges, as Stated by Caroline Bosbach
A renewed crisis has engulfed the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Germany, as Member of Parliament Caroline Bosbach faces an ultimatum over allegations of financial irregularities.
The CDU's Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis local party has set a hard deadline for Bosbach to answer questions about the acceptance of 2,500 euros in cash during the Bundestag election campaign from a former CDU employee. Bosbach has since paid the money back to the party.
The CDU has already handed over all documents relating to the case to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Cologne for examination. The local party has distanced itself from Bosbach due to the unanswered questions surrounding the cash scandal.
In a statement, the CDU emphasized that it does not tolerate "inappropriate or even illegal behavior," particularly by officials. The statement comes after Bosbach made a video statement denying enriching herself at the expense of the CDU and describing the accusations as "constructed."
However, the CDU Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis has expressed displeasure with Bosbach's video statement, and the district board has welcomed the fact that Bosbach will not attend any events in the current municipal election campaign in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) until the matter is fully clarified.
The CDU's nighttime letter stated that Bosbach did not personally present herself to the executive board for questions at the current meeting. Bosbach's email to party members did not contribute to sufficient clarification, according to the CDU.
The CDU sees the "suspicion of financial irregularities in elections or internal party elections" as particularly critical and undermining trust in the party. A renewed evaluation of the case is scheduled for August 9th, and Bosbach is invited to this meeting.
