Dispute over State Secretary: court checks Messari-Becker's release

Stand: 23.10.2024 11:48 a.m.

In a dramatic legal dispute over her expulsion, the former State Secretary Lamia Messari-Becker defends herself against the decision by Minister of Economy Kaweh Mansori. The legal dispute has now reached the courts!

After Messari-Becker submitted an urgent application to the Wiesbaden administrative court in October, the campaign is now on the table of the judges (Az. 3 L 1561/24.Wi). The first answers from the Ministry of Economic Affairs to the application have already arrived, but a defined time for a decision remains uncertain. The authority indicates that additional statements may have to be obtained before the judges can make their decision. The court proceedings also do not stop the replacement of your old position in the government!

MANSORI calls "misconduct" as a trigger

MANSOORI justifies the discharge with an "misconduct" of Messari-Becker, but exact details have so far remained in the dark. According to reports, the politician is said to have tried to put pressure on a teacher in a parent discussion to improve her child's grade - an accusation that she rejects.

In parallel to this controversial legal dispute, an committee of inquiry of the state parliament, requested by the opposition from the Greens and the FDP, runs in order to examine the circumstances of discharge. The third meeting of the committee was scheduled for November

Saxon state secretary as successor

While the legal arguments continue, a replacement of the post is already speculated. Insiders report that the Saxon SPD politician Ines Fröhlich could switch to the Hessian Ministry of Economic Affairs as Messari-Becker's successor. However, official confirmation is still pending. The tensions in state politics remain high!
