Bayern: Ministerium will nach Aiwangers Tod „bruchlos“ weitermachen
Das bayerische Wirtschaftsministerium soll zunächst in der Linie des verstorbenen Ministers weitergeführt werden. Die Partei der Freien Wähler will sich später um eine Nachfolge kümmern.
Berlin - Following the unexpected passing of Bavarian Economy Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters), it appears the Ministerium will proceed "unbroken" without him. Wirtschaftsstaatssekretär Tobias Gotthardt (Free Voters) stated at a press conference in Munich that the ministry will continue its work, believing it is what Hubert would have wanted.
Gotthardt will initially oversee the ministerial affairs and operations until a formal successor is chosen. He noted the absence of not just a leader, but a great man, visibly shaken by the news and struggling with tears. Sabine Jarothe, the chief of staff, admitted there is a "gigantic gap" to overcome. The Ministerium intends to move forward in the same vein as the deceased minister, aiming to assume responsibility and maintain the reliability of Bavarian economy.
Gotthardt emphasized that nothing will stop or delay the strong voice of Bavaria at Berlin and Brussels levels.
