On November 9, 2016, Bleser announced that he would no longer run for this office. The background is the anonymous donations made by Werner Mauss to the CDU district association Cochem-Zell.

Federal politics

Bleser has been a member of the German Bundestag since 1990 .

From 1990 to 2011 he was a full member of the Committee on Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection.

From 2003 to 2005 Bleser was the spokesman for animal protection policy for the CDU / CSU parliamentary group .

From 2005 to 2011 chairman of the parliamentary group's working group on consumer protection, nutrition and agriculture and since November 2005 nutrition, agriculture and consumer protection and thus also the agricultural policy spokesman for the CDU / CSU parliamentary group. As such, Bleser is one of the most prominent advocates of green genetic engineering in the Bundestag.

From 2011 to March 2018, Peter Bleser was Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (formerly: Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection). As such, he has headed the Federal State Secretaries' Office for the coordination of funding policy for rural areas since 2014. This brings together state secretaries from the economy, health, building, transport, interior and agriculture ministries.

On November 22, 2017, the Bundestag unanimously decided to lift Bleser's immunity, as the public prosecutor's office is investigating him in connection with the donation affair involving ex-secret agent Werner Mauss for possible infidelity and violation of the party law.

Shortly after the appointment, the TAZ reported that he had not registered his activity on the board of trustees of the Heinz Lohmann Foundation with the Bundestag administration, even though the rules of conduct provided for this.
