Survey: Majority thinks Audi CEO's appearance with Trump was wrong
However, there is also understanding for the manager - among other things from Bavarian politics. IG Metall is calling for commitments for Neckarsulm.
A recent survey by YouGov found that most people in Germany criticize Audi CEO Gernot Döllner's appearance at a US President Donald Trump campaign event, where he announced the construction of a new Audi plant in the US state of Georgia. 39% of respondents considered the appearance "not at all appropriate" and 18% considered it "not very appropriate".
The Audi CEO defended his appearance, saying he was invited to present the plans publicly and that it was in the company's interest. Meanwhile, the IG Metall union is demanding commitments for the Audi plant in Neckarsulm, which is threatened with closure, and criticizes the announcement of investments in the US while jobs are at risk in Germany.
