German Defence Minister Resigns Owing to Mounting Criticism Posted on January 16, 2023 News By Akta Yadav 387 Views German Defence Minister:- Current Development The German defence minister Christine Lambrecht has announced her resignation from the department owing to her skepticism regarding the efficacy with which she had been performing her role. German defence minister Christine Lambrecht’s decision of resignation has also been greatly influenced by the widespread criticism that she was facing at work. Reasons for Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht’s Resignation Olaf Scholz, the Chancellor of Germany has accepted the German Minister Christine Lambrecht’s request for resignation on Monday (16th January 2023). The primary issue that Lambrecht was facing was the need for expanding the German armed forces in order to extend support to Ukraine. After a military drill, many tanks from the Puma infantry of Germany were phased out and this created an urgent and acute need to revive Germany’s defence machinery. Criticism was a part and parcel of daily life for the German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht right from the time of her appointment when senior defence personnels had called into question her experience and abilities. Not just this, the German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht’s vacation in Sylt along with her elder son was also criticized by the media. She had to bear the brunt of the German military’s hesitation in sending heavy weapons and war supplies to Ukraine amidst the US- Germany’s joint decision of supporting Ukraine. Critics had also taken over the German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht’s social media with rude comments demanding her resignation, when she had posted a video on New Year’s eve talking about the situation of Ukraine. The video was barely audible and firecrackers were seen bursting in the background. Implications of German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht’s Resignation It is expected that Mr. Lloyd Austin, Secretary of the US defence forces will visit Germany in order to discuss their joint support towards Ukraine and further action plan. This pre- scheduled meeting makes the need for an urgent reappointment of the new German Defence Minister a matter of concern after the unexpected resignation of German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht. Another challenge before Chancellor Scholz is that he has promised his Cabinet members that he would keep the 50:50 gender ratio stable at all times. If a male candidate is suggested and found eligible to replace the ex- German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht, it could result in a larger reshuffling of the German Cabinet.
