German Defense Minister Christine Lambrechthas announced this Monday that it has presented its resignation to the federal chancellor, Olaf Scholz, after several days of speculation in the German media about the possibility of him leaving the government.

“Today I asked the Federal Chancellor to leave the post of Federal Defense Minister. The focus of the media on me makes it difficult to provide professional information and discussion about soldiers, the Federal Army and security policy issues,” the minister said in a declaration.

The minister, 57 years old and a member of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), like Scholz, had been the object of months of critics from his own party and from others and in the media, especially in relation to decisions related to the war in Ukraine.

Lambrecht had recently caused outrage by a video message recorded on a Berlin street on New Year’s Eve amid a deafening noise of firecrackers and fireworks and in which he took stock of 2022 with reference to the war in Ukraine.

After the invasion of Ukraine, he was also controversial for his announcement of the willingness to send helmets to that country as a support measure in its defense against Russian aggression, which was considered little less than a mockery compared to the commitments of other countries in the shipment of military material.
