Siemens shareholders protest against digital general meeting – economy

A shareholder who calls himself “Mr. Mueller” has chosen a quite original approach to let an old industrial group know. Shortly before the Siemens shareholders’ meeting this week, he writes that he wants to propose that “each of your proposals for each of your agenda items be rejected,” and he therefore calls his motion a “general counter-motion.” Because – and at this point Mueller makes a small digression into the subtleties of the existential philosophy – Siemens only invited to a digital-virtual general meeting, there is basically no general meeting at all. The shareholder believes that Siemens only invited to a “fictitious” meeting that “didn’t really exist.”
