Rossmann CEO Draws Clear Line Against the AfD

Raoul Roßmann, CEO of the German drugstore chain Rossmann, has publicly distanced himself from the AfD. His stance is unambiguous: "I don't want to greet Björn Höcke at our firm." After the Association of Family Entrepreneurs invited AfD representatives to a conference, Roßmann left the association and has not rejoined. Grounding his position in business experience, he pointed to the concrete losses Rossmann suffered under Orbán´s government in Hungary, which he considers comparable to the AfD, as evidence that such politics harm companies rather than help them.
