Britta Ernst, Olaf Scholz’s wife, has always valued her own political career. After resigning as minister in Brandenburg, she now has more time for her husband and is now accompanying him to the G7 summit in Japan. Will she still plant an apple tree behind the Élysée Palace without him?
When Brandenburg’s Minister of Education wanted to support her husband at an important business appointment in June 2022, she had to submit three days of vacation, deregister with the Prime Minister and have a cabinet colleague officially represent her. Only then could Britta Ernst accompany her husband Olaf Scholz to the summit at Schloss Elmau, where the Chancellor received the heads of state and government of the G7 countries. It’s over.
