AfD criticizes economic policy: Auto supplier Recaro and Bertrandt in difficulties

The AfD parliamentary group of SMEs in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament, Bernd Gögel, has asked the state government to change the course in economic policy. The occasion is the current situation in the automotive supply industry, especially the difficulties of two regional companies, Recaro in Kirchheim and Bertrandt in Ehningen. Gögel criticizes the existing political measures that, in his opinion, inhibited economic development and could contribute to de -industrialization. The spokesman also refers to the upcoming decision at the EU level, which affects the ban on new cars with combustion engines from 2035, and speaks of an impending outflow in the region.

The automotive industry is of central importance for the economy in the Stuttgart area, which is considered one of the strongholds of automotive production in Germany. Companies such as Daimler, Porsche and Bosch are based here, and numerous suppliers are located in the region. The industry employs tens of thousands of people and represents an important economic factor. The closures of Recaro and Bertrandt are not only direct job losses, but could also trigger a chain reaction among other suppliers and service providers in the region.

If you look at historical developments in the automotive industry, it can be found that the change in mobility has been going on for several years. The progress in electromobility and the increasing demands on sustainability not only have an impact on industry, but also on consumer behavior and the entire supply chain. The additional pressure through political decisions at EU level is considered critical by many.

A possible table to illustrate developments in the automotive industry in the Stuttgart region could include the following points:

company
location Number of employees closure date (planned) affected areas
RECARO Kirchheim approx. 400 2024 supplier interior fittings
Bertrandt ehningen approx. 700 2024 Developmental service provider
daimler Stuttgart approx. 35,000 automobile production
bosch gerlingen approx. 40,000 electronics, vehicle systems

The situation within the automotive theater industry in Baden-Württemberg is therefore in the context of a strategic realignment that affects not only the companies but also the employees. The demands for rethinking in politics gain in view of the impending closures and the discussion about future mobility concepts in explosive.
