Steep thesis from Herrenknecht: More focus on economics, less on double names
Tunnel boring machine manufacturer Herrenknecht has sharply criticized the federal government's economic policy. Martin Herrenknecht, CEO of the company, said that politicians should focus primarily on the economic situation instead of discussing issues such as double names or gender. He emphasized that the shortage of skilled workers is significantly hindering economic growth and filling vacancies is becoming an ever-increasing problem.
According to Herrenknecht, there is a particular shortage of engineers, which means that the company has to hire more skilled workers from abroad. For example, Argentinians, Spaniards and Moroccans have recently been recruited. The shortage is particularly serious in professional areas such as welding, which is why more employees from Latvia and Lithuania have to be recruited.
The entrepreneur called on the federal government to improve infrastructure, strengthen defense and adapt social spending to the performance of the national economy. He emphasized that the resources freed up by realigning government spending could be used to support the economy. Herrenknecht accused the government of allowing the relationship between social spending and economic performance to become unbalanced and called for a better assessment of economic needs.
