In Germany, there is a storm over Anne Spiegel, Minister of the Family of the Scholz government. The reason? According to what was revealed in recent days by Bild, the 41-year-old, a member of the Greens, in the summer of 2021, when she was councilor of Rhineland-Palatinate, would have left for a holiday in France with her husband and four children, despite her land and the south of Germany were devastated by the floods, which brought death and devastation.

Not only that: unlike what she herself declared, while she was on vacation she did not even participate in the cabinet meetings via video link.

Enough to raise the opposition, which after the revelations began to clamor for his resignation.

For her part, Spiegel tried to defend herself, explaining that the decision to go on vacation for a month was almost "obligatory" for her due to the health conditions of her husband, who had recovered from a stroke and therefore in need of rest.

A justification that has not, however, calmed the waters of the controversy at all. For this reason, in these hours, the owner of the Family said she was ready to take a step back, putting back her ministerial mandate.
