Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann is steadfast in his support for the Equal Treatment Act, despite opposition from his own chief of staff, Florian Stegmann. Stegmann, tasked with reducing bureaucracy, argues that the initiative should be scrapped due to the bureaucratic burden it would impose.

This law, a key project of the Green-Black state government, aims to protect individuals from discrimination by authorities. However, critics warn it could become a 'bureaucracy monster.' The disagreement among top officials is highly unusual and has stirred significant controversy within the Green party.

Some members see Stegmann's stance as a betrayal, highlighting a rare instance of internal discord. Despite the pushback, Kretschmann remains committed, believing the law is crucial for safeguarding against discrimination and enhancing trust in public institutions during challenging times.

This debate underscores the ongoing tension between regulatory measures and bureaucratic efficiency, reflecting broader concerns about the balance of governance and administrative complexity in Germany.
