Overview

• Hanka Mittelstädt has asked Minister‑President Dietmar Woidke to dismiss State Secretary Gregor Beyer after clashes over wolf management.
• No decision has been made yet, and discussions about the request are planned for next week.
• The rift centers on a potential wolf culling quota, with Beyer having publicly floated a 15% figure.
• Beyer also cited an estimate of at least 1,000, likely 1,500 to 1,600 wolves, which the minister criticized as unverified and premature to publicize.
• Nabu Brandenburg welcomed the minister’s step, the ministry declined comment, and Märkische Oderzeitung first reported the dismissal request.
