Election in Saxony-Anhalt: Concerns about skilled workers and investments in the event of an AfD election victory
What threatens Saxony-Anhalt if the AfD governs? Siemens Energy warns of decreasing attractiveness for specialists and investors. And is not alone in this.
Top managers and economists warn that if the AfD comes to power in Saxony-Anhalt after the state election, the region's economy will face significant challenges, particularly in terms of attracting foreign investment and skilled workers. Monika Schnitzer, a leading economist, and Michael Hüther, director of the Institute of the German Economy, both express concerns that the AfD's policies would make Saxony-Anhalt less attractive to foreign talent and investors.
Siemens Energy's CEO, Christian Bruch, also criticizes the AfD's program, saying it would harm Germany's economy and undermine its democratic structures. The warnings come as the AfD is considered a right-wing extremist party by the state's constitutional protection agency.
