Günther Reshuffles Cabinet: New Faces in Agriculture and Interior
Schleswig-Holstein's Minister-President Daniel Gunther (CDU) is set to shake up his cabinet with a significant reshuffle. Gunther is expected to reveal details later today, with two high-profile ministers stepping down and their successors already tipped.
The most notable changes involve the Agriculture and Interior ministries. Agriculture Minister Werner Schwarz (CDU) is retiring, making way for Cornelia Schmachtenberg to take the helm. Schmachtenberg is expected to bring her extensive experience in the agricultural sector to the role.
In the Interior ministry, Sabine Sütterlin-Waack (CDU) is also stepping down. Her successor has been named as Magdalena Finke, the current interior state secretary. Finke, also a member of the CDU, is praised for her strong leadership and understanding of the ministry's complex portfolio.
With these changes, Minister-President Daniel Gunther aims to refresh his cabinet and bring new perspectives to key ministerial roles. The new ministers, Cornelia Schmachtenberg and Magdalena Finke, are expected to take up their posts in the coming weeks, following the official announcements later today.
