On December 6, local time, German Social Democratic Party announced the list of ministers for the new cabinet. In addition to Prime Minister-elect Scholz, there are 8 female ministers and 8 male ministers. This is the first time that gender balance has occurred among German cabinet ministers.
According to the " New York Times " report on December 6, in the new German cabinet, women will serve as ministers in all departments related to security and foreign affairs. For example, Germany will have the first female Foreign Minister Anna Lena Bellbock, the first female Interior Minister Nancy Feiser, and female Defense Secretary Christine Rambrecht. Prime Minister-elect Scholz said: "In Germany, the proportion of men and women each accounts for about 50% of the total population (according to this year's data, German men account for about 49% of the country's total population and about 51% of women). So I think women should get half of the rights in the government. I am very proud of this gender-equal cabinet." Clara Gewitz, who is about to serve as Minister of Construction, said she is "very happy" to be able to enter a gender-equal cabinet, and she believes that the phenomenon of eight female ministers in the new cabinet is "very important" to German women.
From before participating in the election, Scholz said he was committed to building a "gender equal cabinet government." In the subsequent campaign, he gained support from voters with the slogan "focus on ordinary people and social fairness" and was eventually elected as the new German Chancellor. Scholz and the new cabinet will be sworn in on December 8 local time.
