[HIGHLIGHTS] The Greens: Bommert is no longer acceptable as group chairman

The Greens: Bommert is no longer acceptable as group chairman. The CDU must ask itself whether further consequences are necessary.

In a WhatsApp status message, 62-year-old Bombert indirectly gave the impression that he wanted members of the federal government to die. On Friday evening he admitted that he had lied and written the status himself. He initially presented this differently, but the CDU presidium reprimanded him because he had violated the party's principles. The party's reprimand refers both to the post itself and to his lie.
