| German billionaire meets with AfD party; left-wing interior minister calls for boycott on his dairy empire |
| 2023-12-11 |
| [Remix] One of the richest men in Germany is now openly meeting with the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and the move has led to calls for a boycott from left-wing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and the country’s main establishment parties. Theo Muller — who owns some of the most popular food brands in Germany, including Mulllermilch, Weihenstephan, and Landliebe — stated that he held talks with AfD co-chairwoman Alice Weidel several times. He is considered one of the first major business figures to openly make contact with the AfD, and Germany’s establishment parties, including the Christian Democrats (CDU) and Free Democrats (FDP), are backing calls for a boycott. Muller is estimated to be worth over €4 billion, and his meeting could pave the way for other business leaders to openly back the AfD.... Faeser’s call for a boycott was backed by SPD leader Saskia Esken as well as the CDU, FDP, Greens, and CSU [forget one?] CDU’s General Secretary Martin Huber said: "It must be clear to every entrepreneur and every employee: The AfD is damaging Germany." |
