AfD Kompakt, October 6, 2021.
Within five years automobile production in Germany has been
almost halved to just 2.9 million vehicles. Primarily the Mittelstand suppliers, who in Germany
are in the area of hundreds of thousands of industrial workplaces, are thereby
gravely affected.
Corona lockdowns, interrupted worldwide supply chains and
the microchip shortage caused thereby have intensified the crisis of the automobile
industry. The deeper origin of the downfall however is the ideological war
against the combustion engine and individual mobility, and the presumptuousness
of the policy for the planned economy regulation of the automobile market.
We need to most quickly leave this wrong way. Otherwise
threatens the destruction of a key industry which represents the backbone of
our prosperity and Germany’s status as an industrial country.
