Spectrum: Is Peter Ramsauer resigning from his post?

15 December 2013 by enrico

ramsauer

The signs for Mr. Ramsauer are bad. In all likelihood, he will give up his position as Minister for Transport (including the bicycle department) and possibly even leave the cabinet. Spiegel Online initiated this speculation today with regard to the formation of the grand coalition.

If you continue to follow the mirror, you could Alexander Dobrindt, hitherto CSU General Secretary, the post of Ramsauer, who was not very successful during his tenure. If that is indeed the case, one can look forward to the explanation for Ramsauer's departure. It's quite possible that the reason for this can be found in the hardly worthwhile political successes of the Bavarian. Among other things, Ramsauer is responsible for the delayed introduction of valid road traffic regulations.



We will try to clarify in an interview as soon as possible what goals the new Minister of Transport will set and what we can expect from cyclists.
