In the Hessian state parliament, an investigation committee has taken up its work on the controversial dismissal of the former State Secretary Lamia Messari-Becker.

An urgent application from Messari-Becker against their exhaust was assessed by the Wiesbaden administrative court in mid-December as obviously legally judged. The budget provides for a million euros for the committee of inquiry, which was criticized by the SPD chairwoman Lisa Gnadl.
