The Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock has not let go of the debate about inaccurate information in her résumé.
After the party had already specified incorrect statements about Baerbock's membership in organizations over the weekend, information on the candidate's party website has now been adjusted again.
This time it is about Baerbock's many years of work as the office manager of the green MEP Elisabeth Schroedter.
As the »Welt« reported, Baerbock had recently stated that he had worked for Schroedter in Brussels from 2005 to 2008.
According to the newspaper, however, Schroedter's website stated that Baerbock was in charge of the offices in Berlin and Potsdam until August 2007, and later was the contact person in Brussels and Strasbourg.
Now the party has apparently removed the information at the newspaper's request.
The current version only states that Baerbock was Schroedter's office manager from 2005 to 2008.
A place of use is no longer mentioned.
"Ms. Baerbock was first in Germany, then in Brussels," a Green spokeswoman made clear to the newspaper on Saturday.
According to "Welt" the correction was made on Monday morning.
At the weekend, the Greens had to adjust the résumé of their top candidate for the federal election in September after criticism.
For example, a subheading in Baerbock's curriculum vitae was changed from "Memberships" to "Advisory boards, (sponsorship) memberships, regular support".
This now includes a funding program from the German Marshall Fund and UN refugee aid as a German partner of the UNHCR.
The Heinrich Böll Foundation's Europe / Transatlantic Advisory Board, which was also previously listed, now notes that Baerbock has since resigned.
Information on Baerbock's training and study visits had also been adjusted.
