Wolfgang Bosbach (born 11 June 1952 in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German politician and member of the conservative party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which he joined in 1972. A lawyer by profession, Bosbach is a partner at Winter, Jansen & Lamsfuß in Bergisch Gladbach. ==Political career== Bosbach has been a directly elected member of the Bundestag since 1994, representing Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, and the deputy parliamentary group leader of his party since 2000. In August 2011, Bosbach became the first senior CDU MP to say he would not vote for legal changes to allow the European Financial Stability Facility to buy sovereign bonds on the market.〔Gerrit Wiesmann (August 30, 2011), (Merkel fights back over Greek bail-out ) ''Financial Times''.〕 He later criticized the permanent rescue mechanism – called European Stability Mechanism – was a step toward a European transfer union.〔Annette Weisbach (June 28, 2012), (Germany’s Bosbach Says ESM Is Step to Transfer Union, RP Says ) ''Bloomberg News''.〕 In 2012, he told German business magazine ''Wirtschaftswoche'' that Greece should leave the euro region to overhaul its economy.〔Jana Randow (May 19, 2012), (Germany’s Bosbach Says Greece Should Leave Euro Area, WiWo Says ) ''Bloomberg News''.〕 In 2013, Bosbach rejected calls to grant Muslims living in Germany two days of official holiday a year to mark important religious festivals, saying there was "no Islamic tradition in Germany" and that religious holidays here reflected the country's Christian heritage.〔Gareth Jones (March 28, 2013), (Germany urged to grant Muslims days off for religious festivals ) ''Reuters''.〕 Following the 2013 federal elections, Bosbach was part of the CDU/CSU team in the negotiations with the SPD on a coalition agreement. On February 27, 2015, Bosbach voted against the Merkel government’s proposal for a four-month extension of Greece's bailout; in doing so, he joined a record number of 29 dissenters from the CDU/CSU parliamentary group who expressed skepticism about whether the Greek government under Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras could be trusted to deliver on its reform pledges.〔Stephen Brown (February 27, 2015), (Germany backs Greek extension but bailout fatigue grows ) ''Reuters''.〕 On July 17, he voted against the government’s proposal to negotiate a third bailout for Greece;〔Paul Carrel (July 17, 2015), (German lawmakers back Greek bailout despite rebellion; Tsipras sacks dissenters ) ''Reuters''.〕 in response to the resulting discussions with fellow conservative MPs, he resigned from his office as Chairman of the Committee on Internal Affairs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolfgang Bosbach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
