Defense Minister At Snail's Pace - Clarification looks different!
“In the defence ministry still beguiler and juggler are at work, who have to answer for the debacle of the Eurohawk drones. Bad enough that Germany commissions such defense projects - now de Maizière wants to obstruct parliamentary clarification of the scandal as well," said Jan van Aken, top candidate of DIE LINKE and spokesperson for foreign policy of the parliamentary faction of DIE LINKE on the delayed submission of evidence by the Federal Defense Ministry.
The defense minister’s delaying tactics in informing the parliament about the financial black hole of Eurohawk is outrageous and shows that the government of Christian democrats and liberals wants to prevent any disclosure of its wheelings and dealings. The evidence of the whole process must be presented immediately and without further stalling. Had de Maizière clarified about the drone debacle as quickly as he frittered away taxpayer’s money for defense projects, the documents would have been available weeks ago.
