德总理默茨宣布改组联邦政府

德国总理默茨于7月24日宣布改组联邦政府，对内阁及执政党重要职务进行调整1。现任卫生部长尼娜·瓦尔肯将出任联邦总理府部长，现任基民盟秘书长卡斯滕·林内曼接任卫生部长1。此外，现任数字化和国家现代化部国务秘书菲利普·阿姆托尔进入总理府，担任负责联邦与各州合作事务的国务部长1。

默茨还提名现任总理府部长托尔斯滕·弗赖担任联盟党联邦议院党团新任主席1。这次改组由联盟党联邦议院党团原主席延斯·施潘因个人行为争议而辞职引发，进而导致多个重要岗位需要调整1。默茨表示，希望打造"以最大干劲和热情开展实质性工作的政府，体现德国社会和政治领域的多样性"1。联邦政府将作出进一步调整，相关决定需数天甚至更长时间敲定1。

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced a restructuring of the federal government on July 24, reshuffling several key cabinet and ruling party positions.1 The reorganization was triggered by the resignation of Jens Spahn, the former parliamentary group leader of the Union faction in the Bundestag, due to personal conduct controversies.1

As part of the reshuffle, current Health Minister Nina Wälken will assume the role of Federal Chancellor's Office Minister.1 Carsten Linnemann, currently General Secretary of the Christian Democratic Union, will take over as Health Minister.1 Additionally, Philipp Amthor, presently State Secretary for Digitalization and National Modernization, will move to the Chancellor's Office to serve as State Secretary overseeing federal and state cooperation.1 Torsten Frei, the current Federal Chancellor's Office Minister, has been nominated as the new parliamentary group leader of the Union faction.1

Merz indicated that further adjustments to the federal government structure would be made, though decisions on these changes could take several days or longer to finalize.1 The Chancellor stated his aim to build a government that operates "with maximum vigor and enthusiasm to undertake substantive work," reflecting the diversity present in German society and politics.1
