Surrendered driver's license
CDU top candidate drove e-scooter while drunk
Brandenburg's CDU state and parliamentary group leader Jan Redmann was still driving an e-scooter with a blood alcohol level of 1.3. He drove home on Thursday after an evening with friends in Potsdam, said the politician. He would "bear the consequences of his mistake".
Redmann (44) said that he had already voluntarily surrendered his driver's license. Proceedings are already underway regarding the incident. The CDU state leader was stopped by the police during a routine check on Thursday. The officers asked him to take an alcohol test, which revealed a blood alcohol level of 1.3 per mille.
"Judging by ideas"
The politician said he would continue his election campaign regardless of this and become even more involved. "I am running for the office of Minister President (...). I ask the people of Brandenburg to judge me on my political ideas and solutions for the future of the state and not on the basis of a mistake that I myself am most sorry for," he said in a statement.
According to his own statement, Redmann can take responsibility but is not free from mistakes, which he stands by, "even if it is personally painful".
