Ministry of Economics: Complete management level was vacant: Reiche is reorganizing the energy department
According to information from the Handelsblatt, the Minister of Economics is entrusting three new people with energy matters and is thus putting an end to a situation that probably never existed like this before.
German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has filled the leadership vacuum in her ministry's power department, which had been without leaders for several months. The department, divided into three sub-units, will now be led by Jan-Kristof Wellershoff, Michael Kuxenko, and Pascale Semmler, all internal promotions. Wellershoff and Kuxenko's appointments have been confirmed, while Semmler's is pending due to internal competition claims.
The appointments come amid criticism that Reiche has prioritized external hires over internal promotions, leading to frustration among ministry staff.
