Yesterday, Olaf Scholz had to sit in his old mayor’s chair in the “Cum-Ex” committee. His memory left a lot to be desired. The Union is now calling for a special session.
After Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s statement on the Hamburg tax scandal, the Union faction in the Bundestag is calling for a special meeting of the finance committee.
“The doubts about the credibility of today’s Chancellor and former Hamburg Mayor Olaf Scholz are becoming more and more massive,” said deputy parliamentary group leader Mathias Middelberg of the dpa. “The chancellor doesn’t want to remember anything anymore. At the same time, more and more evidence is emerging that suggests political influence in the Warburg case.”
Scholz before the investigative committee
On Friday, the SPD politician Scholz again rejected any influence on the tax procedure of the Warburg Bank, which was involved in the “Cum-Ex” scandal, before the investigative committee of the Hamburg Parliament. The core question is whether leading SPD politicians helped ensure that the bank did not initially have to reimburse capital gains tax that had been wrongly reimbursed.
Hamburg is the only federal state that wanted to make such claims statute-barred, said Middelberg. Therefore, the question of Scholz’s political responsibility also arises.
