Wahl: Arbeitgeber warnen nach Wahl vor „Klima der Abschottung“

The head of the German Employers' Association, Steffen Kampeter, expressed concern after the AfD's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election. He warned that a climate of isolation would harm the location and called on the democratic center to regain trust and prove that politics can solve problems. Kampeter emphasized that the people no longer want rhetoric, but substance and results from politics.

Kampeter noted that, for the first time since the end of World War II, a party deemed right-extremist could potentially take power in a federal state, assuming they find supporters. The CDU, led by Minister-President Sven Schulze, suffered significant losses in the election.

The BDI's head of the Industrial Association, Tanja Gönner, urged the federal government to demonstrate more determination following the state election results. She stated that the response to this election must not result in a political standstill at the federal level. Gönner emphasized the need for a decisive reform agenda focused on increasing investments, innovation, and growth.
