- Cavallo described Trump’s speech as racist, sexist, xenophobic and transphobic, and criticized Döllner’s subsequent appearance as active campaign support.
- Cavallo called it a clear breach: Audi bars public events with candidates during the final three months before elections; US midterms are November 3.
- For the Georgia plant, Audi plans annual output of 200,000 SUVs, investment of four billion dollars and 4,500 jobs.
- Cavallo said worker representatives have not approved the project pending clarity on its effects on other plants, especially in Germany.
“Minutes upon minutes of racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia and contempt for democracy—and then one of our top corporate representatives walks onto the stage and actively helps the campaign.”— Daniela Cavallo said this in an internal interview, criticizing Audi CEO Gernot Döllner’s appearance at a Donald Trump campaign event.

- Audi chief Gernot Döllner called on the social partners to hold mandatory talks on job cuts and working conditions at Neckarsulm.
- Döllner says economic conditions have deteriorated significantly, while the works council is reviewing whether the clause applies.
- The Volkswagen Group’s restructuring plan announced in September gives Neckarsulm one year to submit a cost-cutting concept; otherwise closure threatens.
- Economic experts estimate that around 50,000 regional jobs could be lost if the plant closes; about 1,000 suppliers depend on its production.

With greater efficiency, clear priorities, and a consistent focus on our strategic goals, we strengthen Audi's competitiveness— Said by Audi CFO Jürgen Rittersberger regarding Audi's half-year results and the emphasis on efficiency and prioritization
