Federal and state governments: Kretschmann questions the Federal Ministry of Education

Education is a matter of the federal states – then why a federal education ministry? If Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has its way, it should be abolished.

Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has discussed the abolition of the Federal Ministry of Education.

One could raise the question of why a ministry is being introduced at a level for which one is not responsible, ”said the Green politician to the editorial network Germany (RND / Tuesday). “There’s no foreign ministry in Baden-Württemberg either.” The federal government must leave their responsibilities to the states.

In addition, Kretschmann spoke out in favor of questioning the regular evening appointments of governments in order to make government offices more family-friendly. “The situation has improved, but there is more,” he said when asked about the family-friendliness of work in politics. «In Sweden the government does not make evening appointments. We should check it out for ourselves to see if it works. ”

In addition, it is important to shift the focus in the evaluation of political work, said Kretschmann. “We also have to emancipate ourselves from the guilty work, where you always have to show that you are under stress, because otherwise you will be suspected of laziness. Rather, it depends on whether you know what you want and how to get there. ”

About the Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock, Kretschmann said that after the Green election program had been adopted, she would now have to sharpen her personal profile. «She needs legroom. She will take it and the party will give it to her too. ” Ups and downs in surveys is normal, he said. It is positive that the Greens are in a starting position in which they are fighting for the Chancellery. “So there is no need to worry.” The election campaign is only really starting now.
