Press Release: Federal Interior Minister Faeser Attends Annual Conference of the Civil Service Association in Cologne: “Public Service is the Backbone of Our State”
(January 6, 2025, Cologne) – Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser praised the indispensable role of public servants in German society during her speech at the annual conference of the German Civil Service Association (dbb) in Cologne yesterday.
“The public service is the backbone of our state,” Faeser emphasized. “Civil servants ensure that our country functions, that laws are implemented, and that citizens receive the support they need.”
Faeser highlighted the challenges faced by public servants in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and rising inflation. “Despite these difficulties, civil servants have remained steadfast in their commitment to their communities,” she said.
The minister also addressed the issue of public sector pay, which has been a topic of ongoing negotiations between the government and trade unions. “I am committed to fair and reasonable pay for public servants,” Faeser said. “They deserve to be recognized for their dedication and hard work.”
In addition to pay, Faeser discussed other measures to improve the working conditions of public servants, such as reducing bureaucracy and providing more training opportunities. “We want to make the public service an attractive and fulfilling career path,” she said.
The annual conference of the dbb is attended by over 1,000 delegates from across Germany. This year’s conference was focused on the theme “Public Service in a Changing World.”
In her speech, Faeser also emphasized the importance of diversity and inclusion in the public service. “We need a public service that reflects the diversity of our society,” she said. “Only then can we truly serve all our citizens.”
The minister concluded her speech by thanking public servants for their service. “You are the cornerstone of our democracy,” she said. “We are grateful for your dedication and hard work.”
