Germany’s interior minister makes risky run for state office

Nancy Faeser has been interior minister since Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition took office in 2021, AP recalls.

Germany’s interior minister said Thursday that she plans to run for governor of her home state this fall but remain the country’s top security official in the meantime, a politically risky course that opponents assailed even before the announcement.

She leads the local branch of Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats in the central state of Hesse, which will elect a new state legislature in October. (LaPresse)
