Germany: The Minister of Family resigned amid revelations about her vacation

Family Minister Anne Spiegel recently submitted her resignation, under the weight of the revelation, to the BILD am Sonntag newspaper, that last summer, when she was still the Minister of Environment of Rhineland-Palatinate, she had gone on a four-week vacation while the area was facing deadly floods in which 184 people lost their lives.

“I have decided today, due to political pressure, to resign as Minister of the Family. I am doing this in order to prevent damage to the ministry, which is facing major political challenges,” Ms Spiegel said in a written statement.

Yesterday, Sunday, Mrs. Spiegel, in a very charged TV show, apologized for her choices and apologized for her mistakes, while emphasizing that she faced the dilemma between her responsibilities as a husband and mother and those of the minister, as well as her husband had suffered a stroke in 2019, while her four children had been particularly affected by the quarantine for the pandemic.
