The deputy SPD chairman Malu Dreyer is disappointed that CSU only wants to send men as ministers to new cabinet. "A federal cabinet, in which as many women as men are represented, would have been a strong signal. The CSU has now unfortunately prevented this, "said Rhineland-Palatinate prime minister to editorial network Germany. "100 years after introduction of women's rights, this is a disappointment." The selection of CSU was no longer contemporary. "We write year 2018."

For CSU, party chief Horst Seehofer will switch to Cabinet as Minister of Interior and former secretary general Andreas Scheuer as Minister of Transport. The development minister remains Gerd Müller. Minister of State in Chancellery for digitisation is said to be Doroe Baer.

Seehofer himself takes over home and construction departments of Interior Ministry. The 68-year-old announced his retirement as Bavarian prime Minister for 13th of March. According to will of CSU Landtag Bundestag group, finance minister Markus Söder is to be elected his successor on 16 March.

The fourth avow for CSU had been defeated by Seehofer in past few days in Berlin. He avoided having to choose between scour, Müller and Bär. New CSU state secretaries in black-red federal government will be Thomas Silver Horn (defense) and Stephan Mayer (Interior/Construction/homeland).

"We are now all looking forward to realisation of coalition agreement," said Seehofer on Monday at a CSU board meeting in Munich. The CSU now wants to "give strong gas" and make good content policy.

Söder wants to introduce Bavarian cabinet before Easter

The CSU group is aiming for a special meeting of Landtag for 16th of March to elect Söder as new prime Minister, as German press Agency learned from informed circles on Monday evening. The final decision is to be taken at a special meeting of oldest council this Thursday.

It is clear that Söders new cabinet should also be available before Easter. Seehofer's resignation has resulted in resignation of his entire cabinet. For a long time now "many things have been left, we want to catch up again now," said Söder. "Now way is clear for orderly transition in Bavaria, to which we have been waiting for a long time." Seehofer emphasized: "This is a promise that everything can be completed before Easter."
