BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man who appeared in a pornographic film has been expelled from a local branch of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, officials said on Tuesday.

Alexander Maassen, 52, from Berlin, was asked to leave the party by local branch chairman Kurt Wansner. Maassen said he made the film five years ago, appearing in sexually explicit scenes and acting as a kind of narrator.

"I wrote to Maassen at the end of last month asking him to resign and for me the matter is now completely closed," Wansner told Reuters, adding Maassen's behaviour was against CDU values.

A trained doctor who joined the CDU when he was 14, Maassen said the decision to expel him was a result of critical articles he wrote about the CDU's electoral performance and the fact that he stood against Wansner in a leadership election.

He played down his role in the movie, which is called "Beauty Gang": "Unfortunately I was not quite well that day. I didn't quite do 'it', if you know what I mean." :-\ :-[

 

What does he mean?
