Party affair and resignation

As a result of incorrect travel expense accounts and confirmed "black funds", Kerstin Vieregge had to resign from her post as district chairwoman of the CDU Lippe in January 2018. In this context, it became known that Vieregge was also employed for accounting at the CDU Lippe during her time as chairman, but did not perform this task. Furthermore, many decisions for which the board would have been responsible were made without its knowledge. The facts became known through a dossier of the former district manager of the CDU Lippe, Lennart Hildebrand. The CDU NRW ordered a special test. The new board of the CDU Lippe later agreed with Kerstin Vieregge on subsequent reimbursements "in the middle five-digit range".
