Strife concerning wolf numbers' allocation - State Secretary Beyer faces calls for resignation - Controversy surrounding wolf allocation - Secretary of State Beyer to depart
In a surprising turn of events, Minister of State Gregor Beyer, an independent, has announced his decision to step down from his position in Brandenburg. The news was reported by dpa on Friday.
The decision comes following a request for Beyer's dismissal by Hanka Mittelstaedt, Minister of Agriculture in Brandenburg, due to internal disagreements about the handling of the wolf issue. This dispute has apparently led to a breakdown in trust between the two officials.
Minister President Dietmar Woidke, who is involved in the decision regarding Beyer's dismissal, plans to assign Beyer to another position within the Brandenburg state administration. Hanka Mittelstaedt has also expressed her intention to explore further opportunities for Gregor Beyer within the state service.
The specifics of Gregor Beyer's role and the proposed quota for wolf culling, which he had suggested to be 15 percent with an estimated number of animals up to 1,600, have been a point of contention. Hanka Mittelstaedt has distanced herself from these remarks.
In the meantime, Frank Reichel is temporarily assuming the duties of the Minister of State in Beyer's absence. Gregor Beyer is currently on vacation.
It is important to note that no information has been provided regarding a potential replacement for Gregor Beyer. The location of the statements is not specified, but the context suggests Potsdam, Brandenburg.
Despite this personnel matter, Hanka Mittelstaedt's political agenda remains unaffected. The implications of this development for the wolf issue and Brandenburg's wildlife management are yet to be seen.
