(jj) Since 16 February laugh now former Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU) for nothing. It started with the allegations of the Bremer Law Professor Andreas Fischer-Lescano, the vacancy in Guttenberg's thesis as "brazen plagiarism" and "illusion" called. He said, "duplicates the text run through all the work and all the substantive parts." Guttenberg denies these allegations at this point and explains it as "absurd". He wrote the work after most of my knowledge. But in the weeks that followed, more and more clear Guttenberg has been written off over 80% of the work of numerous scientists.
Just one day after the first allegations of the criticism grew. The University of Bayreuth asked Guttenberg, take in two weeks to reply.
Shortly announced Guttenberg moment to give up his PhD, but still denies his dissertation was plagiarized. Because of possible copyright infringement and false affirmation, the first criminal charges against Guttenberg asked. The Chancellor has with him and expresses its confidence in Guttenberg from.
In the following days: abuse of office! New allegations against the lies of Baron are expressed. The opposition have accused Guttenberg misused the academic staff of the Bundestag to. At that time, hundreds of plagiarism hunters on the internet to more than 260 pages of text thesis written off have found. On 21
February Guttenberg now asks the University of Bayreuth withdraw his doctorate, wants to be but not resign.
Two days later, he admits he had "written very clearly erroneous thesis" one. At his office he holds firmly but still.
The opposition accuses him of having "deceived cheated, lied "- and had to go. Now he realizes from the University of Bayreuth Guttenberg title. On 24
February is reported that now also expresses the German University Association (DHV) to the plagiarism scandal. He criticized the behavior of parts of the policy as "outrageous". DHV president Bernhard Kempen said: "It is intolerable, such as the importance of science and its iron laws is neglected entirely political." And "Science is the search for truth. It thrives on originality and autonomy. The honest handling of data, facts and intellectual property makes the first science to science. Therefore undermine the credibility of plagiarism of science. "The Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel seems to the credibility of science are not much and has continued to Guttenberg. She argues for staying in Guttenberg's office with a strict separation of "Mortar and ministerial chair."
Two days later, accusing the president of the National Academy of Sciences, Jörg Hacker, Guttenberg, to be a bad example, "dishonest approach to writing scientific papers is an act that lacks respect for science and its basic principles . Many lawyers assume that Guttenberg used with intent other texts.
According http://de.guttenplag.wikia.com/wiki/Plagiate was the extent of plagiarism in the dissertation Guttenberg is up to 26.02. discovered had the following dimensions: 57 of 393 pages of text are subject finds plagiarism, ie 85.5% of the thesis text pages are fakes have been detected at this time.
Since 28 February protest now more than 30,000 citizens on the Internet with a letter to Merkel to deal with the "Causa Guttenberg (see the open letter to the chancellor of graduate students http://offenerbrief.posterous.com/ ). Several hundred people demonstrated in Berlin against the Defense Ministry and demanded Guttenberg's resignation. Now is also in the FDP's withdrawal brought into play. The FDP research politicians Martin Neumann gives him more "than two weeks time" to address the allegations: "When the circumstances of his promotion keep it leaves in the dark, I consider him as a minister and senior employer of two Bundeswehr universities no longer viable." Annette Schavan (CDU) has great sympathy for the discontent in science: "Piracy is not a trivial matter. And the protection of intellectual property is a valuable asset. "However, this would allow him a second chance. Ultimately, says
Gutenberg under pressure at 01 His resignation in March. On 02 March His successor is Thomas de Maizière announced.
Reactions to the resignation of Guttenberg's supporters and opponents can, for example, under http://www.morgenpost.de/newsticker/dpa ... tritt.html read . The reactions can be very good again recognize the mock and ignorant behavior Guttenberg's proponents to all honest scientists. For example, said the president of the Helmut-Schmidt-Universität der Bundeswehr, Wilfried Seidel: "The accusations against Mr. Guttenberg and dealing threatened to damage the reputation of science in Germany permanently. I therefore welcome the fact that Mr. Guttenberg's Respect to science and expressed his resignation averted by the threat of damage has.. " Guttenberg expressed his respect? What hypocrisy. It is sad how some people are still trying to play down to Guttenberg's behavior.
We agree with the opinion of the opposition and criticize the former Minister and the Chancellor. One can recognize this behavior as low but the value of education and science parts of the policy is appreciated. Who cheats so aware and then also denies the can not be trusted. It is shameful that the good Dr. Merkel as head of the government there makes such a difference and means the plagiarism scandal would nothing to do with his office. This had to be in the first debate as to whether Guttenberg resigns because of his fraud, is already a scandal in itself. As it should be obvious but facts.
Very well. He has resigned. But too bad, though, is how it came about. Would it not have been much earlier time? Why was not part of the population, the demand for his resignation long before loud? Why were there no protests because of his work as Secretary of Defense, which indeed was probably that of a minister of war?
