The Union is threatened with implosion

by time news

After the “Laschet era”, the Union is threatened with falling into insignificance. It could develop in a similar way to that of the Christian Democrats in Italy, who for decades determined the political course in Italy. According to many legendary prime ministers, the “Democrazia Cristiana” disbanded one year after a devastating corruption scandal. So it is possible that a party that appears to be part of the democratic inventory of a country disappears.

Now the various mask affairs, the Amthor affair and the entanglement of personalities from the CSU environment in the Wirecard scandal do not have the dimension of the Italian revelations at the time, which were called “Mani pulite” (clean hands) went down in history.

Order without tender

But even Armin Laschet has to be reproached for not being able to bring the party on a course of renewal from a moral point of view because he did not prevent family members from benefiting from political decisions when Laschet was Prime Minister in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The van Laak company received an order without a tender after Laschet’s son Joe, who works for van Laak, made the contact. It may be that this is a minor issue in the times of Wirecard. But exactly such behavior has an aftertaste like biting into a rotten apple. This is what the Union has tasted like for many over the past few months. Even if Laschet’s failure is not due to him alone, but also to the unbelievable disloyalty of his party friends: Today the Union is proving to be a basket of rotten fruit that could end up on the compost of political transience.
