Berlin. Katarina Barley (SPD) is expected to secure a seat in the European Parliament on Sunday. But this also means that the Minister of Justice will no longer play a role in the federal government in the future. She has therefore announced that she will resign as minister on Sunday.
"26 May is the deadline," Barley told the editorial network Germany (RND). Barley had already made all preparations. "My application for dismissal as Minister of Justice has already been written. I will pass it on to the Chancellor on election night" The apartment in Berlin has already been cancelled, but the tenancy agreement in Brussels has already been signed.

This is unfuckingbelievable.
The German minister of Justice knows she will get a seat in the european parliament, before the election (next Sunday) even took place.
She will hand over her resignation on Sunday.
She already canceled her flat in Berlin.
She already has a new residence in Brussels.
