“I know this is a big job,” Linnemann said in a press conference with Merz and Warken. He is looking forward to the job. The CDU politician was already in the cabinet discussion at the beginning of the legislative session. The 48-year-old man was originally supposed to be the minister of economy, but he turned down the position. He would prefer to be Minister of Labour, as he told “Welt” (here) But the department went to the SPD.
Warken wants to continue the trend of evolution
“I am happy to work with the federal government to continue to push forward the course of reform that we have now started and are continuing,” said the future head of the Chancellor, Warken. The CDU politician can look back on the rapid rise. Only last year, to the surprise of many, he became the minister of health. Now he is moving to an important position in the Chancellor where he has to help Merz in the coming reforms. Merz praised the fact that Warken is also familiar with security policy issues. It is the first time in the history of the Federal Republic that a woman will lead the Federal Chancellor.
But the renovation is not yet complete. “There will be more changes in the federal cabinet,” Merz said. He wants to communicate exactly who is involved at the right time.
