German industry warns AfD government would harm economy

BDI managing director Tanja Gönner publicly cautions that an AfD-led government would not deliver economic growth, arguing the party's positions diverge from the proven success factors of Germany's export-oriented economy. This marks a notable intervention by a key business association ahead of elections, signaling potential friction between the far-right party and corporate Germany. The statement is an opinion from an industry leader, not a factual economic forecast, and its impact depends on electoral dynamics.
