Stasi man as the Environment Minister: Thuringia's government is causing a stir!

Thüringen, Deutschland - A political quake shakes Thuringia! The new CDU Prime Minister Mario Voigt presented his freshly baked cabinet and ensured a historical premiere. The political bomb: BSW politician Tilo Kummer, a former member of the GDR State security service, becomes the Environment Minister! There has never been in the history of the Federal Republic. A decision that will certainly be discussed hotly.

A politically explosive mix, because Voigt has maneuvered himself in office with a left-wing deal. How Image The now Environment Minister Kummer voluntarily served in the Stasi wax regiment "Feliks Dzierzynski". Kummer, once an extremely SED left-wing member of the left, is now also responsible for energy, nature conservation and forestry.

The new cabinet: a colorful mix

The alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) secured three ministerial posts. Former left-wing mayor Katja Wolf is now heading the Ministry of Finance and acting as Vice head of government. The entrepreneur and career changer Steffen Schütz takes over the digital and infrastructure ministry, where he takes care of building, living and urban development. The SPD is also in the game: Georg Maier remains the Interior Minister, Katharina Schenk grabs the important department for social affairs and health.

CDU: The largest faction with new faces

Four ministries go to the CDU: Colette Boos-John heads the Ministry of Economic Affairs, while Christian Tischner, who triumphed against AfD rights from Björn Höcke in September, becomes Minister of Education. The experienced Beate Meißner takes over the judicial department, and ex-MP Stefan Gruhner will act as head of the State Chancellery-a true political powerhouse!

The political bang made all of Germany listen. This is not just a regional political spectacle, but a lesson for how old conflicts and new alliances further dynamize the political landscape. It remains exciting which other surprises this government has - because in Thuringia the cards are now completely newly mixed!
