German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on car manufacturer Volkswagen AG not to shut down factories, Funke media group reported, even as the leader acknowledged it was up to the company’s owners and labor representatives to discuss the matter.
Closing locations “would not be the right way” because poor management decisions contributed to the difficult situation, he told Funke media group in an interview published Saturday.
