EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Under Article 32(1) of the Basic Law, foreign policy is a matter for the federal government, so Bavaria has no foreign minister. Justice, finance and internal affairs, by contrast, are the states' own responsibilities, and Munich has its own ministries for them.
Only the federal government has a foreign minister.
