Nathanael Liminski

Nathanael Liminski is the Head of the State Chancellery (Staatskanzleichef) of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany. He is a CDU politician. He is currently newsworthy for two reasons. First, he publicly distanced himself from the MAGA movement associated with former US President Donald Trump, stating that he finds its Christian framing deeply unbelievable and that its hostility is unchristian. Second, he is involved in addressing concerns regarding the alleged “disastrous leadership behavior” of NRW Construction Minister Ina Scharrenbach. Reports suggest Scharrenbach's behavior has created a climate of “fear and terror” among her staff, leading to accusations of abuse of power. Liminski, as Head of the State Chancellery, is reportedly taking a prominent role in managing the situation and addressing the need for explanations within the NRW government regarding the Scharrenbach matter. This highlights his key position within the NRW government and his involvement in handling sensitive political issues.
