  "account": "Düsseldorf - Porsche SE's CEO Hans Dieter Pötsch has expressed growing frustration over the ongoing efforts to rehabilitate Volkswagen's Wolfsburg-based automobile company. Speaking about the company's semi-annual figures, Pötsch declared Volkswagen to be \"at a historical turning point,\" urging all stakeholders to assume responsibility for the business and its competitiveness. As chairman of the supervisory board at VW, Pötsch, who is 75 years old, also underscored the importance of swift decision-making, stating that \"the longer decisions are delayed, the bigger the problems become.\"\n\nPötsch went on to emphasize the need to focus exclusively on what is economically and entrepreneurially viable, dismissing all else as secondary. The CEO's remarks come as Volkswagen's management struggle to implement his vision for the company's future, with resistance from labor representatives and the German state of Lower Saxony over proposed personnel cuts and restructuring efforts.",
