The Return From Vacation Story

About a week ago, most all politicians in Berlin (all 700-odd members of the Bundestag), took off for their long-planned vacations.

Well....they were forced by rules to return today (basically a one-day session) to have AKK give the oath to being the next Defense Minister.

If you added it up....it's probably upward to a thousand Euro minimum for each person, to pay for some round-trip ticket to get them back from Spain, or Greece, or Thailand, or Canada. 

There's been some whining about this rule, and why all Bundestag members have to be physically present.
