Olav Gutting (born 14 October 1970) is a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag since 2014.
Early life and education
Gutting was born 1970 in the West German town of Bruchsal and studied jurisprudence at the University of Mannheim. [1]
Political career
In 2001 Gutting entered the CDU and became already in 2002 nominee of his party in the electoral ward of Bruchsal – Schwetzingen. He has been a member of the Bundestag since the 2002 elections, representing Bruchsal – Schwetzingen.[2]
In parliament, Gutting has been serving on the Finance Committee. Within the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, he has been part of the leadership since 2013, under successive chairmen Volker Kauder (2013-2018) and Ralph Brinkhaus (since 2018). He was one of the MPs who voted for Brinkhaus to oust Kauder in 2018.[3] Later that year, he ran for the post of deputy chairman but lost against Andreas Jung.[4][5]
Other activities
Political positions
Within the CDU, Gutting is regarded as critic of Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to enter into a coalition government with the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) after the 2017 elections.[7] In June 2017, he voted against Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.[8] In early 2020, he co-founded an informal cross-party group of MPs from the CDU, CSU and FDP parties who opposed a potential coalition government between CDU/CSU and the Green Party.[9]
