On Monday, January 16, 2023, it became known that German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht did what the world media had previously reported.
She officially appealed to Chancellor Olaf Scholz with a request to relieve her from her position.
TASS reported this with reference to the DPA agency, which has at its disposal a personal statement from the head of the country’s defense department.
In it, Ms. Lambrecht complains about excessive attention from the press to her personality.
It is mentioned that journalists very often and in great detail discuss all the actions of the minister.
This kind of excitement, the statement says, pushes into the background the discussion of the needs of the Bundeswehr and the development of the army in the interests of the people of Germany.
In this regard, I decided to vacate my post,” said Christina Lambrecht.
Previously, the media reported about scandals in which the head of the German Ministry of Defense regularly got involved.
Very often it is criticized for the unsatisfactory, in the opinion of many, state of the material and technical base of the German army.
