Since Wend has been working for the Bundestag, his political priorities are related to financial and economical topics as well as to the euro-crisis. According to Wend important elements of crisis management are besides budget discipline and structural reforms in the affected countries a greater convergence of economic and financial policies of the EU members towards a “political union”.[6] Wend supports the introduction of a financial transaction tax on a broad base.[7] In the course of the debates on the Multiannual Financial Framework of the EU, Wend and his British counterpart call for a growth-oriented budget framework.[8] Wend also represents the idea of a social Europe, as a political union only can succeed if the living conditions within Europe are comparable.[6] From July 2012 to 2018, Wend has been president of EM Germany following SPD politician Dieter Spöri and being succeeded by Linn Selle.[9]
