Minister of Education Schweitzer taps Teuber following Chancellor race
Schweitzer questioned Teuber following the election of the Chancellor - Schweitzer queried Teuber regarding the chancellor's upcoming election.
Hey there! Dig this juicy tidbit: Alexander Schweitzer, the Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate and an SPD member, held off on calling his preferred candidate for the succession of education honcho Stefanie Hubig, who vacated the post after nearly nine years, until after the Chancellor election. You know, the one with Friedrich Merz in the running but ultimately failing to snag the top spot.
Schweitzer had this to say when he presented Hubig's replacement: "Given the events that transpired in the Bundestag yesterday, I thought it best to wait and see first." When the dust settled, the Minister-President on the hunt for his next education whiz called none other than Sven Teuber, and he was bloody thrilled, ducking that call during a Trier meeting centered around school funding and district boundaries.
The man of the hour, ol' Sven Teuber, has been the man running things in Trier's SPD chapter since 2013, and he's had a seat on the city council, too. On top of that, he's been the spokesperson on education policy in the state parliament, making him the ideally qualified chap for the job.
Now, the online searches don't mention ol' Sven Teuber in relation to his role as a successor to Stefanie Hubig in the Rhineland-Palatinate government. But hey, things move fast in politics, so it's not out of the question that it lipped off the press, at least not in the current search results. The beans might still be spilled in some other corner of the web, or maybe it'll all come to light with an official announcement. Stick around, and we'll keep you posted on the latest goss.
