Minister earthquake in Bavaria: Söder introduces new ministers – Blume becomes Minister of Science
Updated February 23 at 10:54 am: The new cabinet is in place. The previous Secretary General Markus Blume will be the new Minister for Science. The former Environment Minister and current State Chair of the Women’s Union Ulrike Scharf takes over the Family Minister*. Christian Bernreiter. currently still District Administrator of Deggendorf, takes over construction and transport. There is also a change in the Ministry of the Interior. Gerhard Eck resigns as State Secretary in the State Ministry of the Interior.

Updated February 23, 10:50 a.m: The Söder PK is running. The Prime Minister emphasizes the importance of the realignment. You have to be able to put pressure on political Berlin.

The realignment of the cabinet is to be completed under a strict ban on mobile phones, and Prime Minister Markus Söder will then appear before the press at around 11 a.m.
Bavaria: Markus Söder (CSU) presents a new cabinet – several ministers are threatened with extinction
Munich – Spielchen Change yourself in the Bavarian cabinet. Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to reshuffle his cabinet on Wednesday and thus set up his team for the 2023 state elections. At 11 a.m., the CSU leader wants to announce where he is making changes to the ministerial posts or state secretaries of his party. The appointment of the new cabinet members will then take place in the state parliament.
The move comes as no surprise. Söder had announced weeks ago that in the run-up to the groundbreaking 2023 state elections on the part of the CSU, he wanted to renew his cabinet, even “refine it”*. Probably also in view of the currently very bitter polls of the Christian Social *.
New cabinet in Bavaria: several ministers before the end – who has to go, who is coming?
Who is affected by the cabinet reshuffle? Who has to tremble for his ministerial post? According to Merkur information, Söder has three goals in the new cabinet *: Only those who are completely convincing in their field should remain or become ministers; who is so prominent in his home district that he draws votes in the election; and who can also work beyond the borders of the Free State – to sound out the traffic light coalition. In particular, less dazzling personalities such as Kerstin Schreyer (construction, transport), Carolina Trautner (social) or Bernd Sibler (science) are therefore coming under pressure.
The ministers Joachim Herrmann (interior), Albert Füracker (finance) and Klaus Holetschek (health) are considered set. Markus Blume could possibly move up – previous Secretary General, Söder confidant and a CSU voice perceived in federal politics. However, it seems unclear who will take over the office of Secretary General in the event of a Blume nomination. The ministers Michaela Kaniber (Agriculture) and Judith Gerlach (Digital) are mentioned.
The previous district council president and Deggendorf district administrator, Christian Bernreiter, can also have hopes of a ministerial post. He is named as the new Minister of Construction and Transport – and came to the CSU parliamentary group meeting in the state parliament on Wednesday morning.
Since the last state election in 2017, Söder has already made two cabinet changes. At the beginning of 2020, Kerstin Schreyer (CSU) took over the Ministry of Transport from party friend Hans Reichhart; her family ministry then went to Carolina Trautner. A good year ago there was also a CSU castling for the health department. Klaus Holetschek replaced Melanie Huml as health minister after several flops. Since then, Huml has served as Minister for European Affairs in the State Chancellery. (as) *Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
