Steinmeier on vacation: Manuela Schwesig now has the final say on the cannabis law. The CDU and CSU had vehemently opposed the project without being able to stop it through their representatives in the Federal Council.

Now the Social Democrat is presented with the law for signature as Steinmeier's representative. According to SPIEGEL information, a limousine from the Federal President's Office will set off from Berlin to Schwerin early on Wednesday morning. The Union recently called for refusing to sign the project.
