Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) also had public support from Chancellor Olaf Scholz after her New Year’s Eve video, as a government spokesman confirmed.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has expressed his confidence in his widely criticized Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD).
On Wednesday in Berlin, Deputy Government Spokesman Wolfgang Büchner responded to the question of whether Lambrecht still enjoyed the Chancellor’s trust: “Yes, of course.” He added: “The Chancellor works well and trustingly with all of his cabinet colleagues, and this also applies to the minister I spoke to.”
Lambrecht still “top secretary of defense”
When asked, Büchner made it clear that the Chancellor was also sticking to his statement from December, according to which he Lambrecht for a “top secretary of defense” hold. “Nothing changed about that”said the spokesman.
A video with New Year’s greetings from the minister, which was perceived as unfortunate, had increased the pressure on Lambrecht in the past few days. Lambrecht takes stock of the year 2022, which was shaped by the war in Ukraine, but her words are repeatedly lost in the whistling of New Year’s rockets and exploding firecrackers.
Opposition politicians questioned her suitability and called for her resignation (). It is awaited with interest whether and how the SPD will position itself with the minister at the annual meeting of its parliamentary group in the coming week.
