Germany's opposition conservatives are taking steps to eject one of their members after he made anti-Jewish remarks. Christian Democrat MP Martin Hohmann, an obscure backbencher from the state of Hesse, said in a speech last month that Jews, like Germans, could be seen as perpetrators, arguing that some had served in death squads during the Russian revolution. CDU leaders, facing massive pressure to sack him, took the decision after a two-hour discussion at the Reichstag on Monday. The party's Secretary General, Laurenz Meyer, said he had to ensure that words such as patriotism were used in the right context, and that certain boundaries were not crossed. Mr Hohmann, he added, had done so. The MP has since apologised for his views, but the scandal keeps growing. Even if he is ejected from the CDU, Hohmann will be able to keep his seat in parliament until 2006 since he was elected outright in the last election. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Martin Hohmann, member of the German parliament is seen in an undated handout photo.
