In 2010, e-mails written by Korte were published on an Internet portal, which, according to FAZ author Jürgen Kaube, suggested that he supplied "benevolent" analysis of the CDU (written by one of his scientific staff) against payment by the government. After a significant loss of votes for the CDU in the state election in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2010, which led to a change of the state government, Korte expressed himself critically of the policy of the CDU.
