Faeser rules out change to Hessian state politics
Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser does not want to switch to state politics following the Hessian CDU's decision to enter coalition negotiations with the SPD. She has ruled out such a move, said the SPD politician, who was the leading candidate in the state elections, in Berlin on Friday. "I will remain Federal Minister of the Interior." She has an important task in the federal government, and she also believes that "the country comes first, then the party".
Faeser said that she would recommend to the SPD committees in the evening that coalition talks begin. There was a good working atmosphere with the CDU and both parties obviously agreed on several important issues for Hesse. For example, agreement had already been reached with the CDU on an expansion of daycare places and more staff in daycare centers. Both parties were also equally concerned with the future of the industrial location and the situation of employees in the public sector.
Faeser's decision to remain as Federal Minister of the Interior indicates her commitment to the federal government and its priorities, despite the opportunities for engagement in state politics. The SPD and CDU, both involved in coalition negotiations, share similar concerns regarding expanding daycare places and improving the situation of employees in the public sector, demonstrating potential agreement on party-level issues within Hesse's parliament.
