AfD Kompakt, October 1, 2021.
The planned closing at Eisenach shows: Those responsible in
the leadership of the Opel concern and in politics have culpably neglected
during the pandemic to re-organize the electronics supply chains vital to
production. A constructive critique of globalization was omitted. That now takes
its toll – with bitter consequences for employees at Eisenach, the recently
modernized automobile hub. These however do not bear the guilt for the failed
economic policy of the last years, whereby were neglected required investments
in national research for the promotion of resilience in auto and industrial
production. For the AfD delegation in the German Bundestag, it is clear that the
Opel works urgently needs be maintained as an exemplar of the Thüringen economy
as well as for a successful Aufbau Ost.
An emigration of production to foreign countries and a thereby associated loss of
workplaces must be unconditionally prevented. We correspondingly demand of the
policy to today declare an existence guarantee for the Eisenach Opel works.
