Election of the Prime Minister - Schweitzer: Rhineland-Palatinate will change
The new Rhineland-Palatinate Minister-President, Alexander Schweitzer, sees greater changes coming for the state. "Rhineland-Palatinate will change. And we will accept these changes and see the opportunities in them," said Schweitzer in his first speech as head of government in the state parliament. He cited challenges such as climate change and an increasingly older population as examples. It's about "protection and opportunities," said Schweitzer.
Schweitzer thanked his predecessor for the long-term close cooperation. Malu Dreyer had always preserved her communication style and her way of dealing with people, even in politics. "There was never an 'inside' and 'outside' Malu Dreyer, there was always only one Malu Dreyer, and she was often a demanding Malu Dreyer," said Schweitzer. As Minister-President, she had shaped and led the state.
Alexander Schweitzer, hailing from Mainz in Rhineland-Palatinate, was appointed as the new Government leader of the state. In her farewell speech to the Parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate, outgoing Minister-President Malu Dreyer commended the cooperative relationship she shared with Schweitzer, highlighting Dreyer's consistent communication style and approach in politics. Despite transitioning roles, the incoming Government of Rhineland-Palatinate under Schweitzer remains committed to addressing critical challenges, such as climate change and an aging population, while seeking protection and opportunities for the state's future.
