- Interior: Christine Lambrecht
- Justice: Svenja Schulze
Why? Seriously, why? 🤷🏼♂️
- Defense: Lars Klingbeil
You already speculated that before. I don't say your prediction is wrong, but do you as a member of the Social Democrats know about any indications of his potential appointment?
He has never stood out as a military maven. Nor were both his predecessors, of course; qualification is not a prerequisite for any political portfolio in Germany, but floating his name seems a bit random and a bit of a stretch.
- Digital infrastructure: Johannes Vogel (FDP)
I think he's a realistic choice; thus I mentioned him in my prediction, too.
But what about Linda Teuteberg? She's a woman, she's "young" (compared to other MPs), she was born in the GDR, she has worked at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, plus the FDP owes her one after her sh
itstorm-inducing dismissal as general secretary.
- Transportation: Anton Hofreiter
That figures! The Ministry of Transport seems to be reserved for Bavarians only. 😋
- Education: Saskia Esken
🤢🤢🤢 What's
"stellvertretende Vorsitzende des Landeselternbeirats Baden-Württemberg" in English, btw? 🤣🤣🤣
- Economic Cooperation: Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (?)
Really? MASZ has been overtly groomed for the Ministry of Defense over the last decade. I don't think she would let herself get fobbed off with the booby prize, also called "carpet ministry".
That would be like appeasing Dr. Karl Lauterbach by promising him the ministry of Gedöns.
- Chief of Chancellery: Wolfgang Schmidt
Never heard of him. Why not Lars Klingbeil?
