Volker Wissing
Volker Wissing is a prominent German politician and member of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), serving as the Federal Minister for Digital and Transport since 2021. He has held various political roles at both the state and federal levels, and is known for his advocacy of digitalization and infrastructure development in Germany. Wissing's party faced significant challenges during the recent political upheavals, particularly following the dissolution of the coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, leading to a potential loss of influence in the upcoming elections.
