Caritas Criticizes Personal Attacks Against German Labor Minister Bärbel Bas
Caritas has condemned ‘inacceptable personal attacks’ against German Labor Minister Bärbel Bas (SPD), citing them as a reason for her resignation. Eva Welskop-Deffaa, Caritas president, stated that constant questioning of Bas’s efforts by the coalition partner hindered successful government policy-making. New SPD minister Alexander Schweitzer hopes his appointment will mark an era of compromise and mutual trust to ensure future social policies succeed. Bas cited the death of her stepdaughter and public attacks as reasons for stepping down from both party and cabinet positions, while retaining her parliamentary seat. More: Domradio
