People - Scholz and Ernst celebrate silver wedding anniversary during negotiation break
In the midst of tough house negotiations and just before a difficult SPD party conference, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has a rather important private appointment on Thursday: The head of government is celebrating his silver wedding anniversary with his wife Britta Ernst in the evening in a "very private circle", as the Deutsche Presse-Agentur learned from the chancellor's entourage on Thursday. The two have now been married for exactly 25 years.
The couple will benefit from the fact that there will be a break in the marathon negotiations on the 17 billion euro gap in the 2024 federal budget on Thursday because Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) is flying to an EU meeting in Brussels in the early afternoon. On Friday, Scholz is expected to attend the SPD party conference, where he will give his speech on Saturday.
"The love for my wife is the most important thing in my life," the Chancellor told Bild am Sonntag back in February, referring to the anniversary. And at a "Rheinische Post" event in March, he said: "I believe that I would be a completely different person if I wasn't married to Britta Ernst." When asked what kind of person he would be then, he replied: "Neither you nor I want to know."
Like Scholz (65), 62-year-old Britta Ernst is an SPD politician and until a few months ago was Minister of Education in Brandenburg. She resigned in mid-April due to a lack of support for her policies from within her own ranks.
Since then, the two have appeared in public together more frequently. Ernst has now also accompanied the Chancellor on two trips abroad. In May, she attended the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, and the subsequent trip to South Korea. In September, she traveled with Scholz to the UN General Assembly in New York.
