Wolf Reuter
Wolf who? Yes, you should remember this name. Reuter, 39, who has been in the Finance Ministry for less than two years, is now responsible for the budget as State Secretary. He has to put together what hardly fits together. Must create a budget that is constitutional from the completely contradictory spending priorities of the three traffic light partners. Unlike his legendary predecessor Werner Gatzer, Reuter is not a lawyer, not a plumber who knows all the household tricks. He is – which is why Christian Lindner relies on him – an experienced economist who shares the conviction with his minister that the state needs to manage its resources better.
