This meeting revolves around the intriguing matter of information flow within the state government.
In the summer of 2024, Economics Minister Kaweh Mansoori (SPD) decided to part ways with his non-partisan state secretary, Lamia Messari-Becker, citing personal misconduct as the reason. No further details were provided about the nature of the alleged misconduct.

In a ruling by the Administrative Court of Wiesbaden, Mansoori accused Messari-Becker of pressure tactics during a parent-teacher conference for one of her daughters' high school.
