Election of the Prime Minister - Barbara Schweitzer: "I know how hard he works"
The decision for Alexander Schweitzer as the new Minister-President was surprising for his wife. "We didn't expect that the office would come to us," said Barbara Schweitzer on the sidelines of the Minister-President election in Mainz. "We didn't cheer and open champagne bottles, but rather had serious talks about the consequences this would have for the family, for our sons and for our collaboration," said the teacher, who watched the election with her 14 and 15-year-old sons and Schweitzer's parents.
"But we are sure that we will manage. Of course, this will affect our private life, but we will face it as a family, as we have always done before," reported the 46-year-old. "I'm glad that this is finally starting, and we can focus on it." However, the original vacation plan to Rügen beginning in the next week of the summer holidays will likely not work out.
"I'm crazy excited for him, I know how hard he works and how much heart and time he puts into his work," said Barbara Schweitzer. The sons were happy for their father, but also knew that he would be away more often.
