Scholz Urges Volkswagen to Keep Factories Open

According to a report by Funke media group, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has urged automobile manufacturer Volkswagen AG not to close its factories. Scholz stated that closing locations would not be the "right way" as poor management decisions have contributed to the difficult situation. He mentioned that the company owners are the ones who negotiate specific decisions with social partners, but it is always correct to remind companies of their responsibilities.
