Greens - Katharina Schulze plans eight-week break after giving birth
Eight weeks after giving birth to her child, Bavarian Greens fraction leader Katharina Schulze intends to re-enter politics. She is "not the type" for parental leave. "Given that everything is going well with the baby, I will – as soon as possible – gradually get back into politics and take the baby with me," the 39-year-old said in Munich. This also worked out well with her first child. At the beginning of September, Schulze is expected to give birth to her second child. She will be represented in the meantime by her deputy Johannes Becher (36). Schulze has been married to Baden-Württemberg Finance Minister and party colleague Danyal Bayaz (40) since July 2022. The couple already have a common son.
- Katharina Schulze, the leader of the Greens fraction in Bavaria, expressed her intentions to return to politics just eight weeks after giving birth, despite not being typical for parental leave.
- Schulze, who is married to Baden-Württemberg Finance Minister Danyal Bayaz, plans to gradually get back into politics in Munich, taking her newborn baby along with her.
- Interestingly, Schulze managed to balance politics with her responsibilities as a mother when she had her first child, and she intends to do the same this time around.
- Schulze's deputy, Johannes Becher, will represent her in the meantime, as she is expected to give birth in early September in Germany.
- Despite the demanding roles they both hold in politics, Schulze and Bayaz, both from different federal states (Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg), have managed to create a harmonious family life, including their shared son.
