State Secretary Becker to Assume Leadership Role at Audit Court - Secretary Becker set for leadership role at Court of Auditors

Gear up, folks, because it's time to bid a fond farewell to Walter Wallmann as the president of the state audit office—and welcome Uwe Becker with open arms! According to the German Press Agency's inside scoop, our very own finance state secretary and anti-Semitism commissioner Uwe Becker is on a roll! The cabinet is set to make it official next week, with the Wiesbaden state parliament jumping on board during their plenary session, slated for June 24-26.

Why you ask? Because our man Becker is a whiz in numbers and finance, and it's high time he took charge at the state audit office! After twelve years with Wallmann, it's time for some fresh blood to scrutinize the budget and financial management of the state.

But wait, there's more! despite his new gig, our 55-year-old financial expert is expected to continue his work as the state government's commissioner for Jewish life and the fight against anti-Semitism. Thanks to his dedication to this crucial role and his numerous statements, particularly on contentious matters like the Gaza war, we can rest assured that he's in it for the long haul.

The Green opposition in the state parliament, though, isn't so sure. They've raised concerns that Becker might be a tad too biased for his intended role, given his involvement in various significant state projects. "As a long-standing member of the state government and especially as finance state secretary, Uwe Becker was involved in almost all major projects. In many areas, he would therefore have to examine in the future as audit office president what he himself had decided," the faction stated.

Now that we've filled you in on all the juicy details, let me give you a brief rundown of Uwe Becker. A trained banker, he's shown his aptitude for finance in various roles, including city treasurer and mayor of Hesse's largest city, Frankfurt. He's also been appointed as the commissioner for Jewish life and the fight against antisemitism, a testament to his commitment to social justice in Germany.

Stay tuned for more updates on the transformation of the state audit office and the unstoppable Uwe Becker!
