(4 years ago)The Touré amenate is in many ways an unusual appointment. The new age of 29 is not its only unique age. Ecological politician is the first near-German minister in Germany. This is still an unusual sight in Germany. A relative-German minister. 29-year-old Amminata Touré of the Green Party for the next four years [...]
This is still an unusual sight in Germany. A relative-German minister. The 29-year-old Amminata Touré of the Geelbri party will be minister of social affairs at the German-veriary land, Schleswig-Holstein. Landy with about 3 million people is writing this story.
What an honor. From today I am Minister for Social Affairs, Youth, Family, the elderly, Integration and Equality in Schleswig-Holstein. I'm happy to be part of Daniel Gunther's Cabinet II. I will carry out the task with conscience and with joy”, Tourure wrote on Twitter.
That Tour in this post will not be easy, that's what comes to mind. In social media, skeptics began now searching for her life story and complaining that she, besides a basic degree in political science, could not witness any other professional experience.
But Tour is not so unknown. She has been in the land parliament for four years and has conducted many sessions as deputy speaker of Parliament.
Kolle Gjota, Albania's honourary consul for northern Germany, but also political activist himself, currently chairman of the CDU in the town of Elmshorn, in the same land, says about DW: “
Growing Up in a asylum
Yet, her skin color - not only - her experience as a nursing daughter - has been important elements in her formation but also as a politician. Born in 1992 in Neumünster, Germany, she was raised in a nursing home. My parents had come to Germany from Mali just a year earlier and fought for the right to stay. Only at the age of 12, she managed to obtain German citizenship. That was the year his father would leave his mother and four daughters.
It begins an extremely difficult stage for the mother, who would take care of the four girls alone. I meet a generation of people who weren't welcome. They have long been rejected as part of this society. But we have done ours, and there are things in this society that we criticize, but we also have suggestions on how to change”, said not once in an interview with DW.
For equal chances
Toure now has the opportunity to really change something. In an interview given to the German media after the oath, she said she is aware of her responsibility: “Biography does not replace politics. It is important to face people who have these challenges and to develop political concepts. The combination of all of it makes politics”.
Kolle Gjona is confident that Toure will bring new and non-conventional concepts to the country government. For one thing he's sure: It will have full support from demographic Prime Minister Daniel Gwenther, who belongs to the CDU, even though his party has the lowest level in terms of representation of immigrants in politics. / DW/
