VW invites to the shareholders’ meeting, and a main topic is possible human rights violations at the VW plant in Xinjiang. Various protest groups disrupt the event – the hardest hit is the celebrant.
Wolfgang Porsche must have imagined his birthday present differently. His 80th fell on the day of the VW general meeting in Berlin, where he wants to have his time on the supervisory board extended by another five years, even though he has actually already passed the age limit of 75. But then just a few minutes after the start of the shareholders’ meeting, a cake flew in the direction of the family patriarch. “We can no longer afford Wolfgang” – that’s what it said on the banner that the cake thrower held up when he was finally led out of the hall.
