Since Wednesday were disclosed in the press evidence of plagiarism in the doctoral thesis of German Defence Minister, Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, the spiraling scandal. Fifteen authors found hostages, two of them have filed complaint and a website created for the occasion says find plagiarism, or appointments not clearly recognized in more than one hundred of the 475 pages of the thesis.
The minister announced yesterday that waiver "temporarily" to the title of doctor, acknowledged "mistakes" and is committed to actively clarify the matter, which initially called "absurd", but says: "My thesis is not plagiarism." The thesis of Guttenberg, a millionaire aristocrat in the last year was the subject of an intense promotional campaign in the media as "most popular politician" and possible Conservative leader to the right of Angela Merkel, was introduced in 2007 in University of Bayreuth.
The dissertation deals with comparative constitutional law between the U.S. and the European Union, and earned a cum laude. The text begins with plagiarized paragraphs and in his own introduction. And not plagiarized from other academic works, but a simple newspaper article of the conservative daily, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
His work contains disturbing amounts of citations, some paragraphs and even some entire pages, shot from other works, no quotation marks or signs, or referred to in a vague and imprecise. "This time the defense minister's situation seems serious," says the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the renowned Swiss newspaper that Guttenberg also derives no less than 97 lines of one of his articles, spread over two pages of his thesis.
Referring to the plagiarism charge as "absurd", the minister tried to put miles through the scandal, he went to Afghanistan the same day. The visit, an image resource which has been abused, was not provided. Guttenberg has visited Afghanistan nine times, always with the press and on one occasion with his telegenic wife, both dressed in sport, but this time it was not journalists.
Meanwhile, the scandal grew and the Thursday night, Chancellor Merkel was to hold a conversation. If there clearly have their support, he said. Only after that conversation, Guttenberg said "mistakes" and announced his resignation "temporary" aspect emphasized, the title of doctor. The opposition is beginning to hear calls to resign and the press, including some media that fawned, she wondered about the future of Baron.
"In the same way he has been staging his visits to Afghanistan, has staged his academic life," says the Berliner Tagespiegel. Much will depend on what you decide to open research at the University of Bayreuth. Anyway, the curse is true that a significant number of political enormities unscathed so end up paying more anecdotal.
Nixon happened to the butcher of Vietnam, killed by illegal wiretapping. Guttenberg, which might lie in the slaughter of a hundred Afghans in Kunduz and avoided this responsibility ceasing to two subordinates, is now being undermined by plagiarism in his doctoral thesis.
