Benjamin Weinthal

Peter Gauweiler, chairman of the Bundestag’s cultural and education committee, arrived in Iran last week with committee members from a cross section of German parties. Jochimsen from the Left Party, Claudia Roth from the Green Party, the Social Democrat’s Günter Gloser, and Monika Grütters, who, like Gauweiler, is a member of the conservative Christian party (CDU/CSU), are on a six-day visit.

When asked about Gauweiler’s decision to hold meetings with Iranian officials who have denied the Holocaust, Christoph Tiné, a spokesman for Gauweiler, told the Post by e-mail that he could not reach Gauweiler in Iran for a comment. Sascha Götz, a spokesman for Gloser, told the Post that the visit revolves around whether “dialogue is a means or not” with Iran. Götz declined to answer questions about the purpose of meeting Iranians who denied the Holocaust.
