Popular Pistorius to remain as German defense minister
Boris Pistorius will continue as defense minister in the new German government. Today, the Social Democrats presented their seven ministers and Pistorius is the only one who continues to receive confidence.
German Focus describes it as a matter of course for the SPD, since Pistorius is the country's most popular politician. With Germany having lifted the debt brake, Pistorius now has clearly better opportunities to push through his policies, writes Tagesschau.
Party leader Lars Klingbeil will step into the position of finance minister. He will also become vice chancellor in the new government, which is formally expected to take office tomorrow.
The largest party in the election, the Christian Democratic CDU/CSU, has already presented its ministers.
AFD strikes back – sues German intelligence service
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AFD) party is suing the country's intelligence service BFV after the party was last week labeled as a right-wing extremist group that threatens democracy. This is reported by Deutsche Welle.
According to Daniel Tapp, spokesman for party leader Alice Weidel, a lawsuit has been filed with a court in Cologne.
The AFD now wants to force a correction in court, writes Bild. The party's lawyers tell the newspaper that the labeling as a confirmed right-wing extremist party has a major negative impact on the party and on the democratic decision-making process in general.
