Four ministers present government program next week
Four additional ministers present ongoing government initiative - Government officials present outlines for their proposed policies and actions
Get ready for some exciting news! The anticipation is building as four ministers are set to unveil the government's program next week.
Alexander Dobrindt, Interior Minister from the CSU, will kick things off with his speech on migration policy and other matters, placing him at the center of attention right after the session begins. Following this, Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig from the SPD, and the head of the new Ministry for Digital and State Modernization, Karsten Wildberger from the CDU, will take the stage. The session is set to conclude around 2 PM.
Looking at the parliamentary calendar for May 2025, the session is expected to fall within the week starting May 19. Given that the new government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, was sworn in on May 6 following the coalition agreement signing on May 5[1][2], this timing aligns with the first full sitting week of the Bundestag after the government formation.
The session with these high-profile politicians from the CDU/CSU and SPD factions, including Alexander Dobrindt (CSU faction leader), Stefanie Hubig, and Karsten Wildberger, usually occurs early in the legislative term to provide an overview of the government's policies and priorities.
So mark your calendars for the week of May 19, 2025, as the Bundestag gears up for an exciting week of plenary sessions!
- Alexander Dobrindt's speech on May 19, 2025, will likely touch upon the migration policy, a critical aspect of the EC countries' employment policy given the impact of migration on labor markets.
- Amidst the ongoing war-and-conflicts globally, Stefanie Hubig's speech on the government's justice policy could shed light on how these conflicts might influence Germany's policy-and-legislation towards refugees and asylum seekers.
- As Karsten Wildberger takes the stage to discuss digital policy and state modernization, he might also address the role of technology in employment policy, considering the increasing trend of remote work and digitalization in various sectors.
