Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger about to be expelled: Why his absence is causing trouble at the Max Planck Society

According to a report by www.merkur.de, Bavaria's Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger is in trouble because he hasn't attended a single meeting of the renowned Max Planck Society for five years. This has led to conflicts with other countries as well as within the Bavarian government. There is a possibility that Aiwanger will be expelled from the Senate of the Max Planck Society.

The impact of this conflict can be significant, particularly with regard to science and technology policy in Bavaria. The Max Planck Society plays an important role in research and has considerable influence on the budget and management of various institutes. Aiwanger's exclusion could affect Bavaria's reputation in the scientific community and potentially influence scientific collaboration and the allocation of resources.

There is also the possibility that Science Minister Markus Blume (CSU) would replace Aiwanger in the Senate of the Max Planck Society. This could lead to a shift in political dynamics within the Bavarian government and also have an impact on the country's scientific agenda.

It is important that the Bavarian government resolves this internal conflict to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of its science and technology policy. Otherwise, potential investments and research projects could be affected.
