As a minister he was always loud, now Andreas Scheuer goes very quietly – and leaves questions behind. Why is he resigning from his Bundestag mandate so suddenly? And what’s next for him? According to a media report, Scheuer could soon work as a management consultant.
Many are now surprised because this man, who always broadcast at full volume, makes such a quiet exit. With a few thin sentences, all in writing, the former Federal Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) said goodbye to the Bundestag on Easter Monday. But perhaps one could have guessed it, it was a retreat in three acts, and the first act was similarly quiet. Back then, in July 2023, Scheuer gave his last speech as district chairman of the CSU Lower Bavaria in Dingolfing. He then left the room unusually early and quietly. He simply left his farewell present, a food basket, standing there.
