criticism

The Society for Technical Cooperation criticized the fact that, under Warnke's leadership of the Ministry for Economic Development, development aid in the Federal Republic would have been carried out according to political standards. For example, promises already made for projects in Nicaragua in the amount of 50 million marks were revoked in order not to support the Sandinista left-wing regime there with this money . On the other hand, other dictatorships, such as the Mobutus in Zaire , were generously promoted.
