Public offices

On 31 October 2008 Aigner was the successor of Horst Seehofer to the Federal Minister of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection appointed. She was sworn in before the German Bundestag on November 4, 2008. Aigner also remained Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection in the Merkel II cabinet (2009–2013, CDU / CSU-FDP coalition). She resigned at her own request on September 30, 2013, in order to switch back to Bavarian state politics. There she became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Affairs in the Seehofer II cabinet in October 2013 . She chairs the “Energy Bavaria Platform”, a dialogue platform set up by the CSU state government to shape the energy transition . In the Söder I cabinet , Aigner became Bavarian State Minister for Housing, Building and Transport and again Deputy Prime Minister in March 2018 . After the state election on October 14, 2018, the CSU decided to propose Ilse Aigner for the office of President of the State Parliament, as the successor to Barbara Stamm . On November 5, 2018, she was elected as the new president at the constituent session of the state parliament with 198 of 205 votes.

In the summer of 2019, she filed a criminal complaint against Ralf Stadler (AfD) with the Advocate General in Munich. In July 2019, in her role as President of the Bavarian State Parliament, on the occasion of a "Discovery Day" with several elementary school children, she had balloons rise in front of the State Parliament. A photo of the action was found on the parliament's homepage. The MP Stadler used the picture, mounted the AfD party logo in most of the balloons and posted it on his Facebook page. Underneath, he wrote “The AfD also works in Bavaria.” Although the faces of the children and their teacher were pixelated, the existing original made it easy to identify. When asked, Stadler told the BR that it was a harmless joke. Aigner, on the other hand, referred to her non-partisan function as President of the State Parliament and the inappropriateness of using children for such actions. According to Bayerischer Rundfunk, it was the first time in the history of parliament that a state parliament president took legal action in this form against a member of the state parliament.

Other engagement

Aigner is Vice President of the Upper Bavaria Regional Association in the Bund Deutscher Karneval (BDK). From 2001 to 2009 she was state chairwoman of the BRK - water rescue service . As Federal Minister, she was a member of the Board of Directors of the Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank .

Political positions

Food industry pricing

In April 2011, Aigner criticized that the food industry justified every price increase with increased raw material costs. She emphasized that the cost factors are as different as the individual products and, in this context, named the proportion of feed costs in the production costs of a beef steak as an example: “While the proportion of feed costs for farmers is still around 40 percent, it is only 40 percent around 15 percent of the total costs when the meat arrives in the butcher's refrigerated counter. "

ATM Disposal Fees

Aigner is particularly committed to the fight against increased fees at ATMs . Sparkassen and Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken , which operate 80% of the ATMs in Germany and are particularly present with their machines in the area, have for a long time charged increased fees for cash withdrawals from customers without an account at the bank or in the corresponding association. With the support of the Federal Cartel Office, Aigner put these banks under pressure to lower their fees. Since the beginning of 2011, most banks have drastically reduced their fees for third-party customers.

Jobs in the defense industry

In the discussion about arms deliveries to countries outside NATO and the EU , Aigner spoke out in favor of maintaining skills and jobs in the armaments industry in July 2014 : “If we no longer develop new systems ourselves, neither for our own Bundeswehr nor for export but if our European neighbors do so, we will lose skills and jobs. "

Power lines

At a CSU party congress in December 2014, Aigner was ready to compromise on the construction of power lines. In February 2015, she demanded gas-fired power plants subsidized by the federal government so that either the Südlink or the Südostlink - or both - could be dispensed with. In May 2015, Aigner suggested that the Südlink route should end in Gundremmingen and no longer in Grafenrheinfeld , otherwise Lower Franconia would be burdened with a second route in addition to the Thuringian river bridge . The route would then mainly run through the territory of Baden-Württemberg.

criticism

Dinosaur of the year

In 2012, Aigner was the first woman to receive the negative Dinosaur of the Year award from the Naturschutzbund Deutschland . The reason for the award to the then Federal Minister of Agriculture was based on her supposedly "backward- looking clientele policy ". The ministry rejected the allegations with reference to forward-looking changes in principles under their aegis.
