Pistorius confirmed as new German defense minister

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed on Tuesday the appointment of Boris Pistorius (pictured) as Germany’s next defence minister. The announcement came only a day after Christine Lambrecht stepped down and Scholz promised to quickly name her successor.

“Pistorius is an extremely experienced politician who has been tried and tested in administration, has been dealing with security policy for years and, with his competence, his assertiveness and his big heart, is exactly the right person to lead the Bundeswehr (German armed forces) through this era of change,” Scholz said.
