German Defense Minister Christine Lambrechtannounced this Monday that it is dismissal to the Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, after several days of speculation in the German media about the possibility that he might leave the government.
“Today I have asked the Chancellor to leave the position of Federal Defense Minister. The media’s focus on me makes it difficult to provide professional information and have discussions about soldiers, the Federal Army and security policy,” the minister said. in a statement. .
The minister, aged 57 and a member of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), like Scholz, had been targeted for months critics from his own party and from others and in the media, especially with regard to decisions regarding the war in Ukraine.
Lambrecht had recently sparked outrage by a video message recorded on a Berlin street on New Year’s Eve amid deafening bangers and firecrackers and in which he took stock of 2022 in reference to the war in Ukraine.
After the invasion of Ukraine, he was also controversial for announcing a willingness to send helmets to that country as a defense measure against Russian aggression, which was seen as little short of a mockery compared to the commitments of other countries in the shipment of military equipment.
