In a statement on Saturday, Aiwanger also said that one or more copies of the flyer were found in his school bag and he was summoned to see the principal. He said he was threatened with police involvement if he didn’t clear up the facts and had agreed under pressure to make a presentation.Aiwanger did not specify what the presentation entailed. But that, he said, had been the end of the matter. He also said he distanced himself"completely" from the leaflet 35 years later.
"This is not just a stupid boy’s prank or a mere youthful sin," Soeder told reporters in Munich, adding that even the suspicion that Aiwanger was somehow linked to the flyer damages the reputation of Bavaria and the deputy governor's personal credibility. "We listened to Hubert Aiwanger today. We questioned him. But today’s statements are definitely not enough for a final assessment and clarification," Soeder said."Many questions remained and remain open."GERMAN CHANCELLOR OLAF SCHOLZ'S WIFE STEPS DOWN AS BRANDENBURG EDUCATION MINISTER
