CSU Demands Bundestag Inquiry Into Habeck’s Use of Public Funds After Exit Announcement

CDU/CSU hold enough seats to establish a committee on their own under rules allowing a quarter of MPs to call an investigation.

Hat sich aus dem Bundestag verabschiedet: Robert Habeck

Overview

  • CSU general secretary Martin Huber renewed his call for an Untersuchungsausschuss following Robert Habeck’s decision to withdraw from the Bundestag.
  • Huber targets state-backed industrial projects including Northvolt, Intel and Wolfspeed as examples of alleged misuse of taxpayer money.
  • Northvolt received roughly €600 million from the state development bank KfW during Habeck’s tenure before filing for insolvency in March.
  • Plans for Intel in Magdeburg and Wolfspeed in Saarland are cited as failed chip factory projects that warrant parliamentary scrutiny.
  • No committee has been established yet, though Huber insists stepping down will not erase what he calls ministerial misconduct.
