It seems like a couple of years ago, once you fucked up, you resigned out of respect to your office/job/position.

Looking at our current Minister of Transport 'Andi Scheuer', this does not seem to be the case any more. He is still in office after burning more than € 500M in the recent toll scandal [0].

This really pissed me off. I mean she had been shown to be both bad at her job and corrupt and instead of kicking here out they promoted her away.

That's been a rather old joke among Germans: Politicians we don't like we just promote to the EU parliament to get rid of them.
