Well....over the past three months....a fair amount of chatter has started up over two ministers in Chancellor Scholz's cabinet. Defense Minister Lambrecht (SPD) and Minister of the Interior Faeser (SPD).
Some of this chatter is over management style....some over mistakes made.
If you went to the resume of each....looking for some balance or background to fit into the work required.....most people would say that the two are lacking. Maybe if you gave them a full year to 'learn' the job.....things would be different.
A burden here?
This gets interesting. The SPD Party made it a big deal that women occupy prominent positions in the cabinet, and they countered that it ought to be fairly near 50-50 (male/female).
Of the sixteen cabinet jobs.....the SPD controls seven seats.
If they did remove the two from their jobs....from all of the remaining big-wigs of the party (female-wise)....are their any really gifted individuals for the Interior Minister or Defense Minister job? No.
If the two remain in the jobs and the spiral continues? It hurts the voting situation in various state elections (over the remaining elections in 2022, and into 2023).
Elevating men into the two jobs? Well....it'd just trigger journalists to get hyped up about how unfair it is.....women can't have these jobs.
So, it's a lose-lose type dynamic.
