to invest in Germany. The costs in Hungary may be lower, but who should buy all the expensive cars? If purchasing power goes down here, so does demand. The Hungarians can hardly afford the cars. And, if all companies act like that, then they can close their works right there, since hardly anyone here will afford the cars.

This is a shameful news, as it supports Daimler with a government that clearly has totalitarian tendencies. Undermining legalism and using corruption to discriminate against its own population. Daimler is thus on the same level. I am not naïve, not knowing that big corporations have to serve their shareholders and therefore make profit over everything. I’m just wondering why it’s not possible to do that in the eastern countries of Germany. In conjunction with the policy, it must be possible to create incentives that allow investment in these countries. This would help the shareholder, the people in the eastern countries and the populists from the breeding ground.

For the economy, the political system is completely irrelevant. The decisive factor is that good profits can be generated, and that the state leadership does not throw any tricks on the investor. That’s the way capitalism works, which you do not want to question.
