Merkel said on Wednesday evening on ZDF that the CDU leadership had left no doubt with its rebuke of Hohmann that ways of thinking like those of the MP would not be tolerated. - which is why he continues to be a faction member and remains a party member. Because of course a way of thinking changes immediately through a rebuke.
We acted decisively and announced consequences for any repetition. - well, surely that will prompt Hohmann to change his mind. He's now a very nice and friendly fellow. Sure. We all believe that.
The Union leadership has done nothing in all previous incidents involving Hohmann, and it will in fact do nothing here either. And not the next time either. No wonder - at a time when a Minister President writes a foreword to a book that propagates far-right ideological ideas, such an MP hardly stands out.
However, it irritates me that Jürgen Rüttgers actually makes a demand that I agree with - namely the one for Hohmann's expulsion. A topsy-turvy world.
