Defense: Because: Pistorius has very good and close ties to the military

Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil sees Boris Pistorius (both SPD) well prepared for his new role as Federal Defense Minister. "Boris Pistorius has always had a very good and close relationship with the military and the soldiers in Lower Saxony, one of the largest Bundeswehr bases in Germany," Weil said in a written statement on Tuesday. For their interests and for the safety of the people in Germany, he will do everything in his power. "This is now even more important than his current position in Lower Saxony," added Weil.
