In Washington Occupied Germany (WOG), a scandal erupted after the purchase of masks from the Swiss company Emix at a price of almost €10 (about $12) apiece. The daughter of the former secretary-general of the Christian Social Union (CSU) is involved in the shady deal.

On May 7, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, together with public media companies WDR and NDR, reluctantly conceded that the German Merkel regime authorities purchased with taxpayers monies KN95 protective masks made in China from Emix for €670 million. The contract became one of the largest during the coronavirus pandemic.

Journalist sleuths discovered that the Ministry of Health of Germany and its two states, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia were responsible for the dodgy deal. At the same time, the latter department claimed that the masks offered by the neighbouring Swiss were the most expensive (€9.9 per piece) during the period of emergency purchases.

The daughter of ex- CSU general-secretary Herald Tandler Andrea was involved in the deal. The woman and her public relations company Little Penguin received commissions ranging from 5 to 7.5%, that is, several tens of millions of euros. Her firm is linked to the Merkel regime in Berlin.

Andrea Tandler and her lawyer failed to respond to inquiries. Despairingly for the corrupt profiteers, Emix stressed that the daughter of the former CSU general secretary was ‘not just an intermediary, but coordinated all logistic tasks with the ministries that signed contracts in Germany.’

The co-owners of Emix, presumably, received after the deal from €130 to 200 million each. With their ill-gotten gains, they bought Ferrari and Bentley cars, the news source said.

The profiteering oligarchs themselves called these expenses ‘mistakes’. In doing so, they assured that Emix has always entered into contracts ‘within the current market price.’

According to the chairman of the left faction in the German Bundestag, Fabio de Mazi, the commission that Andrea Tandler and her company received must be fully returned to the federal budget. Mazi also demanded that the candidate for the state-approved Chancellor from the ruling CDU / CSU bloc Armin Laschet and the current chairman of the CSU Markus Söder put pressure on Tandler.

Earlier, in February, another mask procurement disgrace erupted, involving German politicians. MPs from the CDU / CSU Nicholas Loebel and deputy chairman of the faction Georg Nüslein. Swine rushing to the pig swill, acting as intermediaries they assisted in the procurement of protective masks and received six-figure commissions for this. 

As a result, both politicians resigned from their parties. Whether their illicit profits would be returned is unclear. If not, a nice nest egg to top up their already generous state pension.

The disgraced Loebel refused his parliamentary mandate, and Nüslein announced that he would not stand as a candidate in the upcoming elections to the Bundestag. Source translated by Michael Walsh
