Where smoke is. .

It is this one sentence. "My marriage after 40 years was in danger, my wife would not mitgegangen." Edmund Stoiber has said about his motives, 2005 but not as super-minister in the cabinet of Chancellor Angela Merkel to change. Rudolf Erhard has been phrase down. The long-standing council of the Bavarian Radio correspondent has written a book about the former prime minister: "Edmund Stoiber. Rise and Fall."

Erhard was undoubtedly many years close to Stoiber, especially since both come from Oberaudorf and by the same midwife at the world were brought. Nevertheless Erhard will not only by the CSU accused must, in this biography serves to prejudices and not facts. It is about same sentence. Because Erhard brings Stoibers statement about his marriage with that risk in conjunction rumor that has been many years of ministerial and vice versa journalist to be told: that Stoiber an affair with a CSU Bundestag MPs had. Evidence has never had. Erhard repeated now. Stoiber was once "maybe twice" with the lady in Berlin have been seen eating, he writes, which remains his only proof. Then he restricts himself: "It is also the distance from the events considered remains difficult to imagine, and really concrete would hardly have remained hidden." So why must this episode will be up at all?

Because they are the declining prestige of Stoiber in his own party shows, argued Erhard. Alone, that something will be disseminated, from vehicles stranded respect. Whether he himself affair to those who believe will Erhard in book presentation asked? He assume that there where rumors smoke, even once the fire was, he says. Yet the thing he did not ausrecherchiert, "because Private should remain private." On his own statement he will not and does not participate in the journalistic rule that a suspect will be reported only if it also faces serious signs can be underpinned. He did what, says Erhard, he could call it did not.

Thomas Goppel, a former science minister and former CSU General Secretary to the panel discussion about the book is loaded, leaves no doubt that the rumors about an affair Stoibers same holds for. Stoiber had not gone to Berlin, because he is not next to Merkel, the second or third fiddle wanted to play, says Goppel. And: "The fact that something has seen, is not yet that something has happened." One could possibly assume, "if you do not like him."

So yes, there is also the totally different version, as Stoiber to his alleged lover came to be. His Influence Peddlers in the State Chancellery should have dispersed the rumor, is told to a little wooden Stoiber human to make. Others say even the Weak Stoiber should angedichtete beloved by a powerful impact again.

That now only about this for a chapter of Erhard 222-page work is being discussed, this may not be justified, but of course Erhard had the effect of such sentences to be aware. Stoiber himself was incidentally the book presentation does not even invited.
