According to the spokesman for the Thuringian FDP parliamentary group, Thomas Kemmerich, Eisenach is not dependent on Opel.
"Eisenach has a future, even without Opel," said Kemmerich on Wednesday in a current hour in the Thuringian state parliament in Erfurt.
You have to take seriously what is happening there, but the Stellantis Group will not be stopped by Thuringia, emphasized Kemmerich.
Erfurt - "Anyone who deals with us in Thuringia, with our employees, need not be surprised that we are looking for alternatives," said Kemmerich.
Thuringia must claim to be the heart of innovation in Germany.
The background to the debate is the threat of dismantling the car manufacturer and the decision by the Stellantis Group to put the employees of the Opel plant in Eisenach on short-time work.
The left-wing MP Sascha Bilay shouted “Impertinence!” During Kemmerich's speech, and later said it was a scandal when Kemmerich said that Eisenach would get along well without Opel.
"You consciously stir up the fears of the people in the region," shouted Bilay.
His group wants to continue fighting for Opel and the location.
