Sachsen-Anhalt: BMW streicht offenbar Dienstwagen-Angebot für AfD-Landtagspräsidenten
Noch bis November kann Tobias Rausch von der AfD einen 7er BMW nutzen. Für die Zeit danach gibt es bisher keinen Dienstwagen-Ersatz, denn Angebote von Autoherstellern bleiben aus.
BMW reportedly withdrew its lease car service for the Sachsen-Anhalt Landtag President. The Lower Saxony State Parliament had elected AfD representative Tobias Rausch as the parliamentary speaker. According to "Die Zeit," BMW intended not to offer the AfD man a car after his election on October 6th. Rausch is the first Landtag President of the right-wing extremist AfD party identified by the Constitutional Protection Agency.
BMW reportedly declined to comment on the case at the time. Until now, Rausch is using a 7 Series BMW from his CDU predecessor Gunnar Schellenberger. The contract for that car expires in November, and the Landtag administration must secure a replacement as the parliamentary speaker is entitled to a car and driver. If they fail, Rausch will initially be without a service vehicle.
The administration currently has no further offer from a reputable manufacturer. Politicians at federal and state level typically use German car brands as service vehicles.
