German business is silent about the AfD - financial expert Harald Christ explains why this is fatal

According to a report by www.t-online.de, entrepreneur Harald Christ discusses the connection between the AfD and the German economy. He emphasizes that the German economy's silence on the AfD is fatal. Harald Christ, the entrepreneur and millionaire, expresses concern about the success of the AfD and the lack of commitment from German business.

Despite the political developments, many entrepreneurs are afraid to take a clear stand against the AfD. While some, such as former Siemens boss Joe Kaeser and Evonik boss Christian Kullmann, have taken a clear position, the majority of German business representatives remain cautious about the AfD.

This silence from the German economy can have far-reaching effects. Political instability and a potentially anti-European environment could lead to investors perceiving Germany as an unsafe location and opting for alternative, more stable markets. This could lead to a decline in foreign investment and a deterioration in the economic climate in Germany.

Likewise, skilled workers from abroad who could potentially work in Germany could be deterred by the growth of right-wing populism and the climate of hatred that it brings. This could lead to a shortage of highly qualified workers in Germany and affect the country's competitiveness.

It is important that the German economy takes a clear stance against right-wing extremist ideologies and populism in order to maintain the trust of investors and skilled workers. The statements of influential entrepreneurs could also have a positive impact on the political discourse in Germany and help reduce the impact of extremist political movements on the economy.
