East Economic Minister Candidate Kretschmer - Proposal requested for legislative directive safeguarding workers from potential radiation hazards due to ionizing radiation exposure.
Hey there! Let's talk about an exciting development in the federal government for the Eastern states of Germany. Michael Kretschmer, the Minister President of Saxony and a CDU guy, thinks it's a lucky break for them all.
You might be wondering who this person is that's causing such a stir. Well, her name is Katharina Reiche, a born-and-bred Brandenburg lady with a background in chemistry. She's been in the political game since the late 90s and has worked her way up the ladder, serving as a member of the German Bundestag until 2015.
During her tenure, she held some key positions, including being one of the deputy chairs of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group from 2005 to 2009, and as Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety from 2009 to 2013. She then moved on to the Federal Ministry for Transport and Digital Infrastructure until 2015.
Although her direct roles in the energy sector were primarily focused on environmental and transport aspects, her experience as Parliamentary State Secretary for the Environment provided her with a solid understanding of energy policy and sustainability.
So, what sets Katharina apart? Well, she's not just a politician—she's a doer. She's worked in the economy, and even better, in the energy sector. This hands-on approach is what Michael Kretschmer sees as a crucial advantage for her new role as Minister for Energy and Economics.
Since June 2020, Katharina has been the chair of the National Hydrogen Council, a role that heavily involves the energy sector, particularly in the development and promotion of hydrogen as an energy source.
According to the latest whispers, she's set to become the Federal Minister of Economics in the anticipated cabinet of Friedrich Merz, further aligning her with key decisions in the energy sector.
