Max Streibl, the minister-president of Bavaria, had to admit in the state parliament that he had twice gone on holiday in Brazil at the expense of the aircraft manufacturer Burkhart Grob. At the Political Ash Wednesday in Passau in 1993, he greeted his supporters with Saludos Amigos! He asked: Freunde zu haben, ist das eine Schande bei uns in der CSU? Is having friends a disgrace with us in the CSU? He resigned in May 1993. Since then Amigo has been a German word for affairs that entangle politics and business.
