FDP Vice Kubicki calls on Health Minister Lauterbach to fire RKI President Wieler. According to Kubicki, a “new start in terms of personnel” is necessary at the RKI.
Deputy FDP chairman Wolfgang Kubicki has asked Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) to fire the President of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Lothar Wieler.
