Minister Thorsten Frei: 'I like to have things under control'

German Minister Thorsten Frei offered a glimpse into his workspace, describing his desk as "very tidy." He explained this preference stems from a desire to maintain order amidst a complex world. "The world is complicated enough, that's why I like to have things under control," Frei stated.

He elaborated on the contents of his desk, noting that all green-marked documents are designated for the Chancellor and will be processed that day. Frei adheres to a strict routine, working until approximately midnight each day to ensure all files are handled before he departs.

This meticulous approach to his work environment comes as the federal government recently presented a significant reform package before the summer recess. When asked if he was proud of the government's achievements, Frei's response was brief, focusing instead on his immediate tasks.

His dedication to thoroughness and organization underscores a commitment to managing the demanding responsibilities of his role within the German government.
