State Minister Dorothee Bär resigns from Ludwig-Erhard-Stiftung and protests against President Roland Tichy. A sexist comment about SPD politician Sawsan Chebli appeared in her magazine.
reDigital State Minister Dorothee Bär (CSU) has terminated her membership in Ludwig-Erhard-Stiftung in protest against President Roland Tichy. “The reason for this decision is a publication in the magazine ‘The vision of Tichy’, which contains misogynistic and extremely sexist comments against my colleague Sawsan Chebli,” said Bär, the “Handelsblatt”.
The magazine says of SPD politician Chebli, who is trying to run for a Bundestag candidacy in the same Berlin constituency as the current Berlin Mayor Michael Müller (SPD): “What speaks for Sawsan? … The friendly journalists who have been friends so far have only been able to determine the G-spot as a plus point in the special old people’s democratic party. “
“Such failures are unbearable and absolutely incompatible with the aims of the foundation,” said State Minister Bär, who declared her departure. Ludwig Erhard’s request today would certainly not be the degradation of women, but the promotion of women’s careers. “If the foundation has a president under whose direction these texts are published, I cannot and will not support them anymore. It shows a sociopolitical mentality that I do not accept. “
Chebli thanked Bär via Twitter for his “clear stance” and wrote: “We can no longer accept sexism. But we also need men to join us. “
Tichy was editor-in-chief of “Wirtschaftswoche” until 2014, and in 2015 he founded the magazine “Tichy’s insight”, which is often classified as an “alternative medium”. According to his own statements, it is intended for a “liberal-conservative elite”, while critics testify that the online newspaper tends to right-wing populism.
