As Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Deputy Minister-President, Hubert Aiwanger championed the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises. In its obituary, the ZVO particularly praises his closeness to the people, his straightforwardness, and his willingness to address the challenges faced by businesses in one-on-one conversations.
In doing so, Aiwanger always kept in mind the responsibility of businesses for jobs, training, and local social cohesion. He gave a powerful voice to the concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Personal Encounter at the ZVO Executive Board Retreat
The association is particularly moved by an encounter that took place shortly before Aiwanger’s death. Just one day earlier, the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs had participated in the ZVO’s executive board retreat in Niedernberg.
“We, too, had the privilege of experiencing him as an approachable and dedicated conversation partner,” the association’s obituary states. They will cherish the memory of that final encounter.
The ZVO’s board of directors and executive management extend their condolences to Aiwanger’s partner, his children, and his family. They honor his political life’s work and intend to preserve his memory with respect.
