Volker Wissing

Volker Wissing is the former Federal Minister of Transport in Germany. He has returned to his previous profession as a lawyer, practicing in Landau. Wissing is currently newsworthy due to the release of a book detailing his experiences within the coalition government, specifically focusing on the end of the coalition and his subsequent departure from the Free Democratic Party (FDP). He is now publicly critical of the FDP's current direction. While the articles do not explicitly state when he left the FDP, they imply it was after his time as minister. The Rheinland-Pfalz state election results, where the FDP performed poorly, add to the context of his criticisms. Wissing's insights into the workings of the government and his critique of a major political party make him a relevant figure in current German political discourse.
