Federal Minister

From October 2009 to December 2013, Ramsauer was Federal Minister for Transport, Building and Urban Development ( Merkel II Cabinet ), having previously turned down three other offers to become minister. The Tagesspiegel referred to him towards the end of his term as a "political lightweight", one as neither the CSU prestige project "Foreigners toll" nor the construction sites Stuttgart 21 and Berlin Brandenburg Airport progressed as desired or planned. In December 2013, the CSU chairman Horst Seehofer Ramsauer announced that he would no longer receive a ministerial post in the Merkel III cabinet . His successor was Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), Federal Minister for Transport and Digital Infrastructure .

Positions

Like Horst Seehofer , Ramsauer supports the introduction of a car toll for travelers from abroad. In 2009 he called for infrastructure funds to be redistributed in favor of western federal states.

The plan expressed by Sigmar Gabriel during the election campaign before the 2013 federal election to introduce a speed limit on German motorways was firmly rejected by Ramsauer.

In order to strengthen the economy, Ramsauer demanded in October 2014 that the minimum wage and pension be temporarily suspended at 63 and that German participation in the international economic sanctions against Russia and Iran end. He described the quota for women demanded by the coalition partner SPD as "nonsensical".

Ramsauer rejected the climate protection program presented by the federal government in November 2014 and saw in it instructions "for paternalism and re-education". He described individual suggestions, such as inviting officials to cycle, as "ridiculous".

In the context of the Greek sovereign debt crisis , Ramsauer announced in February 2015 that he wanted to vote in the Bundestag against an extension of the financial aid to Greece and cited the reason that the Greek government had abandoned mutual solidarity through its policy.
