CDU-Fördermittelaffäre in der Hauptstadt - Berlins Kultursenatorin ließ ihren »Rottweiler« auf Mitarbeiter los

Wer Politikverdrossenheit förden möchte, verhält sich einfach so wie Weimer (Buchhandlungspreis), Hagel (sexistisch, sexualisierender Blick auf 16-jährige Mädchen), oder wie die Berliner CDU in ihrer Fördermittelaffäre: ein Sumpf von CDU-Seilschaften.

Die Antikorruptionsbeauftragte meint, hier könne der "Eindruck von Vetternwirtschaft oder Korruption" entstehen.

Und was macht die CDU, außer es auszusitzen? Sie will, zusammen mit der SPD, das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz so zusammestutzen, dass all die Unterlagen, die erst ermöglichte hatten, die Fördermittelaffäre publik zu machen, künftig geheim bleiben würden.

Eine win-win-Situatikn, denn CDU wie SPD sind derart in Affären verstrickt, und die SPD derart am Abgrund, dass alle Mittel recht sind, um jedes Risiko der Aufdeckung in Zukunft zu minimieren.
