|Jochen Flasbarth is the longest-serving State Secretary in the German Federal Government and is now back in international climate policy.
Last week, Jochen Flasbarth was back on stage at the Federal Environment Ministry, again holding flowers. Only one thing was different: Last time, Green Party Environment Minister Steffi Lemke came, and State Secretary Flasbarth left. This time, Lemke took her leave, and Flasbarth came. The 63-year-old is returning to his old desk. And now as the longest-serving State Secretary in the Federal Government.
