German mask scandal: ‘unforgiveable violations of ethical standards’ | Conflict Zone

Talking to DW Conflict Zone host Tim Sebastian, a prominent member of Germany’s ruling CDU party strongly criticized the two conservative politicians at the heart of a damaging mask procurement scandal. Andreas Nick said these cases are “totally unacceptable” and called for a "very clear process" to ensure compliance with ethical standards. At the same time, however, Nick said these are “individual cases” and they shouldn’t be used “in a demagogue fashion to discredit parliamentarians and politicians who serve the public to its best interests.”
