Angela Merkel after three and a half years Women to serve as women onlyRetired, German national policy seems to be retreated when it comes to sex parity. The new German parliament, who first met for the first time on Tuesday, has always been more male and less different, and more men and – in general, less than before.

Only 32% of the new MPs of 630 are women, and the last parliament falls from 35 percent when it occurred in 2021.

The number of women in the highest selected body in a country where the society does not want to turn away from traditional gender roles was stagnant since 2013. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier pointed to this statistics during an exit in celebrating the last Women’s Day.

“When our democracy has a problem with women, the country has a problem of democracy,” Mr. Steinmeier. He noted that although all the selected woman of all parties in the country as the blocked woman blows, they would not reach the third minority to prevent changes to the constitution.

In the opening speech in the parliament, Gregor Gysi, the honorary president of the left-winged fire and the honorary leader, noted the decline and seized the day to make Women’s Day. “Today, our men always remind you that there is also a debt to work in the direction of equality for women,” he said.

The German political landslide is responsible for the erosion of women’s participation in the rule, which is prone to the fact that parties are less likely to be less women.

Mr Merz, why Lambrecht called Lambrecht, as a new, conservative government government, he said, as an example of explaining that he would not make an effort to gender parity, he explained to Mrs. Lambrecht.

“We would not want any blessings,” he said Television interview Last year late. It’s been a few weeks of government declared.

Mr. Merz, a group of women in the Christian Democratic Union, Mechthild Heil, who is worried about the role of women in the party in the party.

After seeing that women’s voices will be narrow in the coalition talks, he went to the people with a letter to write a letter to Mr. Merz and demand 50 percent of women in parliament.

“I can give you many examples of really competent women who do not even sit in the teams that do not hear you even in negotiating teams,” he said, “Heil said. Without the women who participated during the talks, important issues were reported to be missed.

Later, Mrs. Heil said he decided to go to the public.

“We are always based on stay calm that they will solve these issues – but have heard these arguments for years and years,” he said.

In Berlin, a political scientist Andrea Römmele and the German policy department, for some reason, the pool of candidates is relatively small. Many women, he said he had to deal with the binary pressure and the family.

“You may not appreciate how work-intensive political work is,” he said.
