AfD madness: Höcke wishes German family businesses ruin!
The political turmoil in Germany is never ending, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is no exception. The AfD is currently causing a stir, especially its strategic connections and the remarkable statements of its leading figures. The lobby association of family entrepreneurs has announced that it will intensify contacts with the AfD. This isn't a sideshow, like Republic Blog reported. With Leif-Erik Holm as economic policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group at the association's parliamentary evening, this should be further cemented.
At the same time, Deutsche Bank stopped working with the association in order to avoid any connections to the AfD. As a result, companies such as Rossmann, Vorwerk and other prominent companies have also taken this step, which further reinforces the economic implications of the political landscape. Marie-Christine Ostermann, the president of the association and FDP politician, sees this as a challenge for the stability of the industry.
AfD and criticism of family businesses
Marie-Christine Ostermann described Höcke's comments as unpatriotic and warned of economic catastrophe, while German companies such as Maximator Hydrogen warn that an AfD victory could have dangerous effects on the development of hydrogen technologies. The current mood in Thuringia speaks volumes: surveys show the AfD as the strongest political force with up to 30 percent, which further alleviates concerns about the economic direction.
