Armin Laschet used the CSU party congress in Nuremberg to rail against the SPD and the Greens. He had it in particular on SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz.
In his speech at the CSU party congress, Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet attacked the SPD and the Greens sharply. “Tax increases and more bureaucracy will jeopardize prosperity,” said the CDU leader on Saturday in his speech at the CSU party conference in Nuremberg. The tender plant growth after the corona pandemic should not be endangered. “It doesn’t matter who is in the next federal government.”
Laschet once again criticized the behavior of SPD candidate for chancellor and Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz after the public prosecutor’s office searched his ministry. “With the financial supervision I would have liked a little more care in several cases,” said Laschet. In addition, after the search it would have been right to assure the public prosecutor’s office of support and not to cast doubts on the rule of law.
How does Scholz feel about the investigation?
In investigations against those in charge of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), a money laundering special unit of the customs, the Osnabrück public prosecutor had the Federal Ministry of Finance and Justice searched on Thursday. Documents were also confiscated, as the public prosecutor announced. Since last year, the public prosecutors have been investigating a suspicion of thwarting punishment in office by the FIU. The central office, which is part of the Ministry of Finance, is said to have not passed on information from banks about money laundering to the police and the judiciary. Customs is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Finance.
Scholz later told the “Welt” that the investigations were directed against unknown employees in Cologne. In this context questions had arisen for the two ministries. This “could have been put in writing,” said Scholz. He continued: “Now they have been posed in a different way. Everyone can judge that for themselves.”
