Reply to comment by shariewayne in German defense minister announces resignation by misana123

I'm sure that there are politicians in Germany who are interested and qualified for the job.

But our goverment decided that the cabinett must be 50% male and 50% female and the new minister must be female and a member of the SPD, so the number of potential candidates gets a lot smaller.

No, only two of the three coaliton parties are voluntarily placing that requirement upon themselves, SPD and the Greens. The FDP doesn't have parity and doesn't care for it much. It is not a "must", it voluntary.
