Balance of the Wirecard U Committee Is Scholz complicit?

Status: 06/22/2021 5:00 p.m.

The Wirecard committee of inquiry presented its report one year after the accounting scandal became known. But who is politically responsible remains open. The opposition and the Union accuse Finance Minister Scholz. For years the Wirecard Group has been highly praised – an innovative business model, a fantastic sales development, the hope in the Dax. And then almost two billion euros disappeared from the balance sheet practically overnight. “It is a criminal case,” says Matthias Hauer, chairman of the Union in the committee of inquiry. And after seven months of studying the files and questioning witnesses, it is clear that the Union is primarily responsible for the bankruptcy of billions: “Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz and the management of the Federal Ministry of Finance bear political responsibility for the Wirecard scandal,” said Hauer. They knowingly looked the other way when the rumors about irregularities in the Wirecard management made the rounds. Fabio de Masi from the Left puts it even more drastically: “This billions of dollars lie, this Wirecard illusion factory was only conceivable because they organized a political network to hide the fact that there wasn’t much substance under the covers. “ De Masi recalled the countless investors who would have lost a total of more than 20 billion euros in share assets due to the Wirecard bankruptcy.

Opposition demands political consequences

Florian Toncar from the FDP also thinks that someone from politics should have apologized to the injured party: “I think it is a major annoyance for many citizens that in the end there is no one in such scandals who will also stand up admits his own mistakes. ”

But back to Olaf Scholz. As a witness in the committee of inquiry, he had considerable gaps in memory, complained the spokesman for the Union and opposition parties. Lisa Paus from the Greens thinks that Olaf Scholz did not exactly recommend himself as a candidate for Chancellor: “I think that especially in these times Germany needs a leader who can also admit mistakes. And I think that is something that Olaf Scholz is not given. ” Kay Gottschalk from the AfD was the chairman of the committee of inquiry – Union and the other opposition factions attested to having carried out the office professionally and with colleagues. In the matter he also misses political consequences at a higher level. “A minister would have resigned 20 years ago. And that is a cultural change that we are experiencing here in Germany that I do not like,” said Gottschalk.

SPD defends Scholz

And the SPD? It takes its candidate for chancellor out of the political line of fire. The allegations against Scholz are just election campaign noise, says finance politician Cansel Kiziltepe: “Olaf Scholz bears no political responsibility for the Wirecard scandal. And the allegations that have been made have not been confirmed.”

On Friday there is still a Bundestag debate on the political assessment of the scandal – then the public prosecutor has the floor. She is investigating the former management of Wirecard for, among other things, embezzlement, falsification of accounts and fraud committed by gang. It is not yet possible to foresee when there will be criminal proceedings

Balance for 2020 Decline among Germans Arms exports

Status: 16.06.2021 2 p.m.

The federal government approved fewer exports of German armaments last year than in the previous year. For controversial exports to Egypt, however, millions again flowed. German companies that sell armaments abroad need a permit. These are summarized in the annual arms export report, which was the subject of the Federal Cabinet meeting today. Accordingly, significantly less armaments were sold abroad in the corona crisis year 2020 than in the previous year. 2019 was still a record year for the German arms industry: the German government had approved exports of weapons, submarines and tanks worth around eight billion euros. In comparison, the total was significantly lower last year at around 5.8 billion. Of course, the sum also fluctuates because in some years major projects are approved, in others not. Around half of the arms exports approved last year are intended for EU or NATO countries, or for countries that are on an equal footing with them, such as Japan, Switzerland or Australia.

Sale to Egypt under fire

More than half of the export licenses went to so-called third countries. Armaments from Germany should actually only go to these states in exceptional cases. Expressed as a sum, the export of goods worth almost three billion euros to such third countries was approved in the past. These include in particular Egypt, which ordered submarines and patrol ships from German shipyards worth around 764 million euros – according to the report by the Federal Ministry of Economics, the highest approved value among exports to third countries last year. Exports to Egypt are criticized by the churches, among others, because of allegations of human rights violations.

In some war and crisis regions no weapons are delivered, for example Ukraine. The federal government recently had the advance of the Greens leader Robert Habeck refused for the delivery of defensive weapons. Arms control does not distinguish between offensive and defensive weapons.

Decline in exports, growth in imports

According to the Swedish peace research institute SIPRI, Germany is one of the five largest arms exporters in the world. While the sale of German armaments abroad declined in the past year, the Federal Republic increased the import of military equipment by more than five percent in 2020 . Last year, according to SIPRI, Germany invested around 44 billion euros in armaments, making it seventh worldwide. With information from Hans-Joachim Vieweger, ARD capital studio
