At the end of February 2013, Korol's statements about Roma that he had published on his website became known. In a text about the influx of Roma from south-east Europe , he claimed that Roma “still lived socially and intellectually in the Middle Ages”. Her husbands have no qualms about “sending the children to buy instead of to school, knocking out their wives' teeth and treating themselves to steel teeth”. The Central Council of Sinti and Roma rated these statements as “vile and massively discriminatory”. Later it became known that the married Catholic and father of three had also criticized the “mass murder of abortions”, the “crib mania” and the “mania of the so-called 'self-realization of women'” on his homepage. On March 8, 2013, the SPD state executive unanimously initiated a party regulation procedure with the aim of expulsion . In the opinion of the board of directors, Korol's statements about Roma and women “because of their discriminatory nature are in considerable violation of the principles of the SPD”. Korol apologized for his text about the Roma, and partially relativized statements about women. None of the essays is on his homepage anymore. On April 8, 2013 he was expelled from the SPD parliamentary group and on September 9, 2013 from the SPD. In October, he joined the Citizens' Association in Anger . Together with the former BiW member Jan Timke , he formed a parliamentary group for the remainder of the legislature .
