Berlin - The official affair to Ulla Schmidt (SPD) - became embroiled in the Budget Committee, the Minister of Health on Wednesday once again in contradictions. She admitted that as early as 2008 a private individual - namely, a relative of Schmidt's - in an official with the Spanish holiday is gone.

Ulla Schmidt, has been lying? "If this was in the opinion - then yes," said FDP financial expert Ulrike Flach to EXPRESS.
Even Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU) had to report yesterday. FDP, Greens and the Left criticized the ministers, because this work had been outsourced to a law to a private law firm.
