Rostock (dpa / mv) - The member of the Bundestag Claudia Müller (Greens) was the first applicant to throw her hat for the Rostock mayoralty in the ring. She is ready for a candidacy. "The task is challenging, but also very attractive," said the native of Rostock on Wednesday of the German Press Agency. The NDR and the "Ostsee-Zeitung" had previously reported on her upcoming candidacy.
An early election of the mayor will take place in the Hanseatic city on November 13, after the previous mayor, Claus Ruhe Madsen (non-party), surprisingly moved to Schleswig-Holstein as economics minister at the beginning of July. On August 2, the district association of the party will decide on the official nomination of Müller, who is currently the federal government's coordinator for maritime industry and tourism.
