In Chancellor Olaf Scholz's minority government, the German Transport Minister Volker Wissing will also take over the Justice Ministry after the coalition's withdrawal, while Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (Greens) will take over the Education Ministry.
They are standing in for Education Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (both FDP), as the German Press Agency has learned from government circles. Wissing had previously resigned from the FDP.
