That lobbying is a manifest evils in our society, is today probably deny hardly anyone. Many networks and cliques make backstage politics of the day with - according to the motto: one hand washes the other. In Berlin alone, drifting over 5,000 lobbyists to mischief.
Opinion mongering, disinformation, unfair collusion, bribery, nepotism, subtle influence on bills and voting, before dividing by tender ... - seems endless list of names and influence offenses, of which the average citizen brave long would not hear. Or could not imagine / would as unconscionable able to operate politicians and business leaders. Many also are privy to and remain silent out of fear or because they themselves benefit from cowardice.
But it is brewing something together: That which remained unnoticed long, now moves into the visor of the "angry citizen" - not only since Stuttgart 21 (although the entanglements are around the station building this development certainly have been beneficial). To put an end to injustice, dishonesty and lack of transparency, not a few have now written on the flag.
In addition to initiatives such as Lobby Control or Transparency International , which are continuously uncover with selfless commitment machinations for years, has recently landed an investigative highlight the "Sunday Times". Using a hidden camera succeeded two journalists from the British weekly newspaper, "unmask" the crooked transactions of a corrupt MEPs to: that of the top Austrian politician Ernst Strasser, until yesterday, Head of Delegation of the People's Party in the European Parliament.
Strasser tried after the announcement to come with outrageous excuses from the affair, which then eventually forced him to resign. In the German media about the scandal was surprisingly (?) Not reported, most briefly as a side note. If you want to avoid that in this country similar cases come to light? In our neighboring country the headline "courier" , however courageous, "Strasser is not an isolated case".
Subsequent secret video recordings of resourceful Times reporter clearly document the tremendous audacity Strasser, but also his pride - and comes before a fall:

A giant mess! This whole Packelei the previous government Haider Bowl Strasser etc.
Haider-Gaddafi, bowl-RWE, Strasser-Sunday Times, ...
One can calculate that the current government is probably not much better!
Since you get a longing for communism.
The procedure is generally state of the art in Austria. I myself come from a small provincial town, where corruption and direct "lobbying" the more equal is on the agenda. All the understanding and everyone does with. Nevertheless, the issue Strasser is generally a "Lercherlschas" when I consider what the robber barons of the FED do. But this complexity that exceeds the intellectual capacity of an individual. Herein is the evil of all misery and buried for almost 100 years, no one has stood up, however, is questionable. Judegment day will have to come. soon!
Nothing really new, because money is well known Macht.Es is just nice to see that this lodge brothers können.Versüßt be beaten at their own game one day.
