Bundesregierung gibt weiteren Teil der Ölreserve frei +++ CDU-Abgeordneter will bei Siegmund-Wahl nicht den Saal verlassen +++ Der Newsblog.
The SPD politician Isabel Cademartori expressed outrage over Audi executive Gernot Döllner's appearance with US President Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. She called it an "atrocity," especially considering the history of the Volkswagen Group. Döllner had appeared at a Trump event announcing the construction of an Audi factory in the US state of Georgia, where he thanked Trump for his support.
Cademartori pointed out that while workers in Germany were worried about the future of their jobs, Audi was announcing billions in investments in a new US plant "in a politically highly contested state of Georgia, which will be crucial for future Senate majority control." She stated that by facilitating this, Audi and the VW Group were endorsing Trump's strategy to bring jobs to the US at the expense of Europe, and aiding the erosion of democracy, violence against minorities, and corruption under his presidency.
Cademartori, a Bundestag member and co-chair of the SPD in Baden-Württemberg, criticized the party's offensive campaign supporting an autocrat who was leading a trade war against Germany.
