Workers' Ionising Radiation Exposure Safety Proposal Requested from Commission
At the summer bash of Saxony-Anhalt's Landtag, CDU bigwig Markus Kurze stood accused of a rude, boundary-crossing act towards a woman. Guess who's stepping down as Parliamentary Business Manager? You got it - ol' Markus himself!
Sobering up a bit, Kurze admitted to messing up during a statement sent by his party. He acknowledged hurting the feelings of an assistant from another faction, and promised to apologize personally. The alleged incident unfolded on a rowdy Thursday night at the Landtag soiree, attended by members, staff, and guests alike.
According to the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung, the story goes that ole' Kurze grabbed a lady's fingers and popped 'em in his yapper. Being in his cups at the time, the act was met with shock and dismay by the shocked onlookers.
Markus justified his resignation, stating that the harmonious working relationship with the other factions - essential for his job - is currently out the window. "I see this basis as currently compromised," he explained.
