Unveiling the Scandal: The Case of Lamia Messari-Becker's Dismissal - Behind Closed Doors in U-Committee
Parliamentary Oversight Committee Discussions Over Dismissal Incident - Speaker Missing - Inquiry Remains Unanswered by the Commission
Here's a lowdown on the explosive Investigation Committee hearings in Wiesbaden, delving into the dismissal of the famed Hessian Minister of Economics, Lamia Messari-Becker.
The ousted Hessian Minister of Economics, Lamia Messari-Becker, drove her former advisor away after he testified before the parliamentary Investigation Committee. This ex-employee had initially moved within the Ministry of Economics in 2024, alleging a heated confrontation with Messari-Becker when he brought up a backlog of unprocessed files. She reportedly responded with a "loud outburst" and insults, even making sexually degrading remarks about the ministry's leadership.
An administrative scientist, a former aid to the ex-State Secretary, also testified about Messari-Becker's work habits, like her reserving Wednesday mornings for personal sports and working from home on Fridays. This echoes other allegations made against her.
Messari-Becker had vehemently rejected several accusations against her in a previous committee meeting. In the ministry, she claimed to have faced unclear responsibilities, drawn-out decision-making processes, and inappropriate expressions as a political newcomer. Adding to the drama, Messari-Becker's private life was brought into question, with Economy Minister Kaweh Mansoori (SPD) citing "misconduct" as the reason for her dismissal in July 2024, without giving further details.
However, an expert's assessment found that the state of Hesse, Messari-Becker's employer, did not violate its duty of care during her dismissal. On the other hand, another expert criticized Minister Mansoori for exposing Messari-Becker to a "charge situation" without allowing her a public defense.
The Hessian data protection officer, Alexander Rossnagel, reported two complaints relevant to the dismissal affair, but could not identify any data protection violations.
Mayor Hanno Benz (SPD) of Darmstadt, too, testified about another allegation against Messari-Becker. She was accused of hindering a neighbor's building expansion using her high office at the building authority due to potential views into her property.
