Goodbye, Hundt: Another Berlin CDU Scandal Ends in Resignation
Berlin digitalisation chief Matthias Hundt has resigned after reports revealed a criminal investigation into his former company - and raised questions over how he got the job.
Another one bites the dust. If there is one word that has defined the CDU administration of Kai Wegner — Berlin's first conservative Governing Mayor in 22 years — it would be cronyism. Wherever you look, the party has shown a willingness to bend the rules, shirk its responsibilities, and throw open the doors to its own network.
Hundt denies wrongdoing, but issued a statement on his way out that accused the press of a "media campaign."
