Bremen's Federal & European Representative Gets a New Face

New senator appointed in Bremen - Bremen welcomes a fresh face in its Senate

Buckle up, folks! A change is comin' to Bremen's Senate. With Olaf Joachim, the former federal and European representative, switching gears to become State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Housing, a new broom's swept into the political sphere. At an emergency state party conference, the Bremer SPD gave the nod to Nancy Böhning as the next guy in the hot seat. This 46-year-old powerhouse has a history with IG Metall, previously leading their Berlin office, and served as the SPD's federal business manager.

Cranking up the motivation, Nancy promised to throw her heart and soul into Bremen’s concerns, emphasizing the city-state's economic and scientific significance. She's got her sights set on making Bremen stand out on a global stage.

She's a go, with a formal Senate appointment scheduled for the following Tuesday. A vote from the Citizens' Assembly on Thursday will seal the deal, and after that, the Senate will decree her as the new federal and European representative.

A VIP guest speaker from Berlin graced the party conference in Bremen. None other than Federal Minister for Housing Verena Hubertz (SPD)! Shouting from the rooftops about her plans to see construction cranes springing up across the country, she praised Bremen's housing policy. She pointed out that it was the only federal state with a noticeable increase in building permits last year.
