Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) announced the resignation of Reinhard Meyer (SPD) on Tuesday, who is no longer able to continue his important office due to health reasons. After three hospital stays, Meyer decided to clear the place for a successor.

Wolfgang Blank's vision

Wolfgang Blank has a comprehensive professional experience that prepares him for his new challenge. Before his time, he was managing director of Witeno GmbH in Greifswald in the IHK Neubrandenburg, where more than 100 companies are located. As a supporter of linking science and business, he plans to promote bureaucracy and promote the transfer of scientific results into marketable products. In view of the current economic challenges, such as the shortage of skilled workers and high energy costs, the economy is looking forward to Blank's fresh approach and its willingness to tackle the issues concerned. Andreas Kihnholz, Managing Director of a glass construction company, hopes for clear solutions from the new minister, reports nordkurier.de .

Although Blank starts his new role with a lot of optimism, the first critical voices rise. The CDU parliamentary group leader Daniel Peters emphasizes that it is important to check the performance of the new and to concentrate on the content. Blank himself is ambitious to master the challenges in the economic sector, and expects that his skills will be in demand in the practical implementation of solutions.
