Germany’s coalition government will introduce a mandatory quota for the number of women working as senior management in the country’s listed companies, in a move hailed as a “historic” step towards sexual equality in German boardrooms.

In a deal agreed on Friday evening by Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats and their junior partner the Social Democrats, management boards with more than three members must include at least one woman, reversing a voluntary system that critics argue has failed to achieve the required shift towards gender equality.

Franziska Giffey, Germany’s federal minister for women, said: “This one breakthrough is historic. We are putting an end to women-free boardrooms in large companies. We are setting an example for a sustainable, modern society. We are exploiting all of our country’s potential so that the best in mixed teams can be more successful. Because nothing is done voluntarily and we need guidelines to move forward.”

This people and this times will be long remembered as they will be in one list with Hitler and his friends.

Instead of providing real help for woman who can't even afford to have number of children they want now in Germany, they are playing shitty games with quotas making new boards that are already destroying all major German firms.

It all sounds so important, so bold. Quite in contrast to solving real people problems. But this people must get one basic thing - if woman are worse performers and can't compare - it should be no woman at all in the board, and in reverse - if they are really better after giving birth for two babies required for population reproduction - they can take all the board, 100%.
