Mainz (dpa / lrs) - The staff for the planned new edition of the traffic light coalition in Rhineland-Palatinate is formed.

For example, Katharina Binz, Member of the Green Party, is to become the new Minister for Family, Women, Culture and Integration.

That is what the state executive and the negotiating group of the party propose to the state delegate assembly, as the Greens announced on Monday in Mainz.

In addition, Anne Spiegel is to become Minister for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy and Mobility.

The state delegate assembly will decide this Thursday (May 6th) on the coalition agreement with the SPD and the FDP as well as on the Green members of the new state government. Binz and Spiegel will resign from their state parliament mandate for the cabinet post. Binz was state chairwoman of the Greens from 2013 to 2017. In the state elections on March 14, the 38-year-old from Zell (Mosel) won the Greens' first direct mandate in the state parliament in Mainz.

In contrast, the SPD politician Konrad Wolf will no longer belong to the new state government.

The previous Minister for Science, Further Education and Culture announced this to the German Press Agency.

"It gave me great pleasure to play a key role in shaping it and I am convinced that I have achieved a lot for our country here," said Wolf.

“With the planned division of the department, the priorities of the state government will be bundled again.

As a result, other profiles are also required for this. "

At the end of the day, however, it is not about people, “but about moving our country forward”.

The previously independent science, culture and further education ministry will be split up in the new government.

Science is merged with the health department, culture is transferred to the family, women's and integration ministries.

In future, responsibility for continuing education will be in the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitization.
