DIW-præsident Fratzscher advarer iværksættere mod nærhed til AfD

Marcel Fratzscher, præsident for Det Tyske Institut for Økonomisk Forskning (DIW), har opfordret iværksættere til at holde afstand til AfD. Han betragter partiet som en trussel mod økonomien, velstanden og den sociale sammenhængskraft. Han fremsatte disse bemærkninger i et interview med Handelsblatt.

I Berlin advarede Marcel Fratzscher, præsident for DIW, om voksende sympati for AfD i dele af erhvervslivet. "Iværksættere bør bevidst holde afstand til AfD, fordi dette parti ikke kun angriber demokratiske kerneværdier, men også økonomisk arbejder imod Tysklands interesser som forretningslokation," sagde han til Handelsblatt. Fratzscher understregede, at virksomheder er afhængige af åbne markeder og pålidelige regler. AfD forsøger at undergrave disse fundamenter "gennem isolation og højrepopulistisk splittelse," sagde økonomen. Han beskrev partiet som "en fare for økonomien, velstanden og den sociale sammenhængskraft." AfD har stabiliseret sig på et højt niveau i meningsmålingerne. I den seneste ARD-Deutschlandtrend står partiet til 25 procent, foran SPD, De Grønne og Venstrepartiet. Det opnåede markante gevinster ved de seneste delstatsvalg i Baden-Württemberg og Rheinland-Pfalz. I en Infratest-dimap-undersøgelse fra februar om økonomisk kompetence lå AfD på en andenplads efter Union-blokken. AfD's ledere kræver åbent ansvar for regeringsmagten på mellemlang sigt. Delstatsvalg i Sachsen-Anhalt og Mecklenburg-Vorpommern finder sted dette efterår.
