The Minister of State for Digital, Dorothee Bär, is leaving the Ludwig Erhard Foundation. The reason he cites “misogynistic” statements about SPD politician Sawsan Chebli in President Roland Tichy’s 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? (…) Until now, journalist friends have only had that. The G-spot can be found as a plus point in the special democratic party of the old men. “
“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. “
