According to Spiegel, Katherina Reiche has not met with representatives of oil companies and airlines for a crisis summit since the outbreak of the Iran war. Yet a kerosene shortage looms in the coming weeks that could disrupt holiday travel.

The opposition in the Bundestag is angry. The Greens are sharply criticizing the economy minister. They accuse Reiche of underestimating the situation and delaying necessary talks. The source did not provide specific quotes or further details on the allegations.
