Read Time: 1 Min
Germany's Bundestag President, Julia Klöckner, is putting the federal government on blast for underrepresenting themselves in parliament sessions. In a stern letter to the Chancellor's Office State Secretary, Michael Meister (CDU), Klöckner expresses her concerns about the scarcity of government officials in the plenary, especially at the start of this new legislative term. "It's bloody frustrating to see the government benches hollow during parliamentary debates,'' Klöckner tells us, quoting her missive to Meister and echoing sentiments shared with the news outlets, "Politico" and DPA.
Klöckner believes the absence of adequate and consistent presence of the federal government hampers a healthy exchange of ideas and undermines constructive cooperation between the government and the legislative branch. While expressing her annoyance, Klöckner stresses, "I can't stress enough, mate, that having the feds present in the parliament is crucial to the overall workings of our democratic system.''
Klöckner's Demands: At Least Two Ministers Present
Agreeing with the Bundestag presidium and factions, Klöckner advocates for a minimum of two federal ministers to attend each parliamentary session. She declares, "The whole bloomin' lot of us here at the Bundestag—and I'm talking about the presidium and the factions—are of the opinion that at least two federal ministers should show their faces at every parliamentary sit-down.''
Ending on a serious note, Klöckner implores the government to take prompt action to maintain a consistent and impactful presence in the Bundestag's plenaries. She urges, "So, chaps, get your arses in gear and make darn sure the government bench is well-represented during Bundestag sessions. I can't emphasize it enough; it's important, mate.''
