The speech of the CEO of Audi at the Trump rally was criticized in Germany The head of the Volkswagen works council, Daniela Cavallo, called the speech of the head of Audi, Gerano Dellner, at the rally with Donald Trump "shameful". On October 25, the US president announced that the German company, part of the Volkswagen concern A. C, will invest 4 billion dollars in establishing a factory in Georgia. Afterward, Dellner took the stage and thanked Trump for his support. The few minutes were filled with racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia and contempt for democracy. And after that, one of the highest representatives of our concern takes the stage and actually participates in the electoral process," dpa quotes Caballo. She criticized the entire management of Volkswagen, which in her opinion allowed itself to be used as a " in a propaganda show" by a politician. The speech was also a "clear violation" of Audi's internal rules, which prohibit executives from attending public events with candidates in the three months before an election, Cavallo said. The US midterm elections will be held on November 3. At the same time, Caballo takes a pragmatic view regarding plans to establish an Audi plant in the United States; From a business perspective, it might make sense, she believes. The US market is one of the largest and most profitable in the world, but Volkswagen has a small share of it and sales have been declining since Trump imposed trade tariffs. The head of the IG Metall trade union, Christian Benner, called the incident "politically unacceptable". She said the way Dellner presented itself and Audi in the US was "disgraceful". She also recalled the political neutrality ahead of the elections.
