Petr Holec noted that former German President Christian Wulff resigned on February 17, 2012, after just 20 months in office due to allegations of corruption and receiving benefits from entrepreneurs. According to information he cited from Echo24, Wulff, a CDU politician who was pushed into office in 2010 by Chancellor Angela Merkel, faced criticism for his contacts with business people during the time he was leading the government of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010. Holec also stated that there were suspicions that Wulff accepted invitations for vacations and other benefits. Investigators, according to him, focused on his relationship with film producer David Groenewold, who allegedly covered some of Wulff's hotel stays on the island of Sylt and expenses related to a visit to the Munich Oktoberfest. Wulff claimed that these were private friendly relationships and that he subsequently paid the costs. Holec further wrote that Petr Pavel is allegedly set to announce his resignation as president on Monday at 9:00 and to apologize to the public for its undignified performance. #politika #korupce #česko (translated)

Meri stated that Stephan van Baarle had not given a substantive answer to a question from JA21 member Ranjith Clemminck about the financing of reparations to descendants of enslaved people. According to her, the intended recipients had never been slaves themselves and did not know anyone who had. She wrote that slavery in the Dutch colonies had been abolished 163 years earlier. Meri found Van Baarle's tone contemptuous and said he had called Clemminck a "greenhorn." She asserted that an elected representative in the Netherlands had the right to ask critical questions and accused Van Baarle of behaving as if he were in Turkey. She also called him a stain on the parliament and used an insulting description for him. https://t.co/51imqS9OlJ #politiek #slavernij #Nederland (translated)
