Reliability counts – Christian Hirte becomes the new State Secretary in the Ministry of Transport
The Thuringian CDU politician is now taking on a key role in the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. Patrick Meinhardt, chief executive officer of the Taxi and Rental Car Association TMV, did not miss the opportunity to personally congratulate Hirte in the Bundestag.
For Meinhardt, the visit was far more than a polite gesture. The two have known each other since their joint time in the Bundestag during the era of the Christian-liberal coalition. Since then, the contact has never broken off. Accordingly, the meeting in the Paul-Löbe-Haus was very cordial. It is a meeting among old acquaintances, but also among political practitioners who know how important a reliable dialogue between ministries and associations is.
"We will certainly not always agree," says Meinhardt, "but we know how to treat each other fairly."
These are words that carry weight in Berlin—especially in a policy area that is characterized like no other by structural change, technical innovations, and societal demands.
The TMV has a whole host of topics on its agenda that will also concern Minister Patrick Schnieder's department. From the basic expertise for drivers to the tariff structure in passenger transport and technology-neutral support for alternative drives—there is no shortage of discussion topics. The issues of inclusion taxis and the modernization pact for local transport also top the association's list.
First, however, Christian Hirte is to settle into his new office. The tasks are extensive, and the pressure of expectations is not low. Meinhardt, who also met Schnieder before his nomination, wishes the new state secretary a good start – and God's blessing for the task ahead of him.
Whether the cooperation between the ministry and the industry runs smoothly remains to be seen. However, the foundation seems to be laid: personal contact, a long shared political path – and the willingness to engage in dialogue. In Berlin, that is already more than many others have.
