Publicist Wolfram Weimer becomes Minister of Culture – The Observatorial

Friedrich Merz (CDU) has named the publisher Wolfram Weimer for the office of Minister of Culture. Resistance is organized in the cultural scene.

The designated minister of media and culture, Wolfram Weimer, resists the accusation of seeking a right-wing conservative turn. He is a cultural advocate, not a cultural fighter, said Weimer to the magazine "Stern". For years he has been writing against the AfD and right-wing populism, the former publicist emphasized.

There are weeks in which the political Berlin rubs its eyes - and this is one of them. Wolfram Weimer becomes a member of the cabinet as a side-starter. A bold signal from the future chancellor.

The non-party journalist and publisher Wolfram Weimer becomes Minister of State for Culture and the Media. The CDU announced this on Monday.

Former editor-in-chief Wolfram Weimer became the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. A real surprise – and for some observers it seems to be a shock.

Germany is expected to get a new coalition government on May 6th, with journalist and publicist Wolfram Weimer, who is close to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) but is not a member, becoming the new minister or commissioner for culture and media.
