Bärbel Bas and I worked together trustfully in the federal government. Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (70, CDU) says about Bärbel Bas's resignation: "Bärbel Bas and I worked together trustfully in the federal government. I thank her for her commitment. Her decision deserves respect. As a father and grandfather, I can only imagine how heavy this loss weighs. I wish her and her family a lot of strength." #BärbelBas #Rücktritt #SPD (translated)
