Economics expert Veronika Grimm is “astonished” by the criticism from her colleagues. Grimm was appointed to the supervisory board of Siemens Energy in December.
She refuses to resign from her position on the Advisory Council. Grimm told SPIEGEL that she had checked in advance with the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Chancellor's Office to see whether the mandate was compatible with her role in the advisory council. The Council of Experts was founded in 1963 and regularly presents reports on overall economic development.
