Ultimatum for the Chancellor!
Because German industry is paying billions in losses in the Corona crisis, industry president Dieter Kempf (67) has called for a political plan for gradual relaxation, no later than May 6!
“Each week of a shutdown, the German economy costs an average value of $ 2 billion in value added,” said Kempf of the “Funke Media Group.” “Such a cut cannot be endured for months and creates massive losses in prosperity and permanent damage to the economy and society.”

Politicians must now work to ensure they can get back to work as quickly and reliably as possible, said the president of the BDI industrial association: “Our companies want and need to know at what stages social and economic life should start again, namely after the meeting of the federal chancellor with the prime ministers on May 6. ”
The goal should be a “binding planning horizon” for companies.
Background: After the scant results of the summit last Thursday, the course and the expected schedules for tourism and gastronomy and the area of schools / kindergartens are expected for May 6.

In exchange for a concrete relaxation schedule, Kempf promised that the companies “would take all measures to allow industrial production to restart without health risks. The measures range from interventions in shift plans, work steps changed directly in the workplace up to the necessary protective clothing ”
The BDI chief lowered hopes of a rapid recovery to the level of economic activity before the crisis: “This will probably only be feasible in the year after next.”
FDP Parliamentary Group Deputy Director Michael Theurer (53) supports the BDI ultimatum for a political relaxation plan.
Theurer zu BILD: “It cannot be the case that this central political task must be increasingly carried out by the courts due to the refusal of the federal government to work. Our country needs a balanced balance to protect health, families and employment. “
