  "account": "The Board of Directors of Volkswagen approved the reconstruction plan proposed by the Management on Thursday following a session of the Executive Committee. The company announced the unanimous vote. The future plan creates the conditions for the Volkswagen Group and its brands to become more efficient, competitive, and oriented towards the future. The Management and the Supervisory Board consider the implementation of the future plan to be absolutely necessary in order to maintain the competitiveness of the Volkswagen Group and secure it for the future. Further details were not disclosed by the company at this time. Chief Controller Hans Dieter Pötsch had attempted to find a compromise between the conflicting parties at Volkswagen earlier on Wednesday evening, but this did not result in significant progress. This information was reported by several insiders to the Handelsblatt. More updates will follow. More: Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume finds the situation personally challenging.",
