Meckel & Matthes: Wie die Mitte die AfD groß machte, die neue Zukunftsangst, Showdown in Wolfsburg
Mit der Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt droht die Brandmauer, weitere Risse zu bekommen. Ob die Ausgrenzung der AfD mehr schadet als nützt – und was der Beinahe-Eklat bei VW über Deutschland verrät.
Sachsen-Anhalt is set to elect a new Landtag on Sunday. Following the election, there may only be a dispute within the CDU about a possible coalition with the left-wing parties or Germany may debate the end of the Brandenburg Wall against the AfD, according to journalist Miriam Meckel. Handelsblatt-Chefredakteur Sebastian Matthes argues that the situation in Sachsen-Anhalt shows that feelings cannot be countered with facts.
The future of Volkswagen is also at stake, as the company's executives and employee representatives surprisingly agreed on a recovery plan on Thursday after intense negotiations on factory closures, job cuts, and compensation. The latest episode of Handelsblatt Meckel & Matthes podcast explores these events, available exclusively at https://www.handelsblatt.com/podcast40.
