The State Chancellery has not yet officially commented
If the party leadership wanted to reappoint the ministries of justice and migration in addition to the environment and energy ministries, Green Party spokesmen Ann-Sophie Bohm and Bernhard Stengele were free to “exercise their right” to demand that Ramelow be dismissed, added Adams. Ramelow agreed to the dismissal on Monday. It is not yet clear when exactly Adams will have to step down.
Too pale, too hesitant: Adams has been criticized in the past
In the past, there has been criticism of the country’s refugee policy, which falls within Adams’ department, which the local authorities in particular have publicly voiced. Adams is seen by many in the Greens, but also within the red-red-green government coalition, as too pale and too hesitant and as a minister who does not place enough emphasis on migration policy. The political career of the 54-year-old, who took over the ministerial office in 2020 and had previously been parliamentary group leader since 2014, would be over for the time being if he were dismissed from the government. Adams no longer has a seat in the state legislature as a minister.
In the afternoon, the Thuringian party leadership of the Greens wants to inform about the personnel reorganization of the Greens.
