Sayonara, Amthor: Stepping Down as MV CDU's Top Dog
CDU Secretary-General, Amthor, resigns from his position in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV) - CDU Secretary General, Amthor, steps down in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
You gotta hope Philipp Amthor isn't shedding any tears, 'cause he's bid adieu to his General Secretary role in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's CDU after a year. The North-East CDU dropped the bombshell. And what's the reason behind his decision? Well, it's all about that sweet gig as Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and State Modernisation. But they'll sort out a temporary replacement at the state executive committee meeting on the 26th of May.
Amthor ain't one to back down without a fight, explaining, "This wasn't an easy decision for me. I've always felt a deep passion for this role, and I've received plenty of support. But politically, it's the right call." The 32-year-old lawyer's gleaming with pride that he's snagged a spot in the new federal government, ready to push state modernization and bureaucracy reduction.
Amthor was the CDU's main man in MV for this year's election. Sadly, his aim for a seat in the Bundestag as a direct candidate never came to fruition. He ascended to CDU's shiny titular role in the north-east at last year's CDU state party conference in Rostock, walking away with impressive 155 out of 165 valid votes, translating to a hefty 93.9% vote share.
CDU state chairman, Daniel Peters, gave praise to the departing Amthor, recognizing his effective leadership and commitment to the CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Peters noted how Amthor shaped the CDU's agenda, driving its development both programmatically and communications-wise. Peters added that he'll continue to maintain close ties with Amthor, retaining the power to propose a new General Secretary, should the need arise.
Alas, details on the temporary successor or the state executive committee meeting scheduled for the 26th are scant; official announcements from the CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or recent news sources will provide more comprehensive insights. Until then, let's raise a glass to Amthor and all his good work!
