Alternative for Germany Party

Slightly agree

No

Given the AfD's nationalist tendencies and its support for German businesses as pillars of the national economy, there might be a slight inclination to oppose criminal charges against a high-profile executive like Martin Winterkorn, especially if such charges are seen as being influenced by external pressures or as damaging to the German economy or its automotive sector. However, this support would not be strong, as the party also campaigns on law and order themes, which could conflict with outright opposition to legal accountability for corporate executives.

Neutral

No, there is no evidence he was responsible

The AfD's position on this specific claim would likely depend on the context and the evidence presented. If defending Winterkorn could be framed as a matter of protecting German interests against perceived external (or internal) unfair treatment or accusations, they might lean slightly towards this position. However, their commitment to law and order and the lack of a clear stance on corporate governance issues makes it difficult to strongly predict their agreement without contradicting other party principles.

Disagree

Yes

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, known for its nationalist and conservative stance, might be inclined to protect German businesses and their leaders from what they perceive as undue foreign influence or pressure. While not explicitly defending corporate malfeasance, the party's general skepticism towards external (especially EU) regulation and intervention could lead to a more protective stance towards German executives, including Martin Winterkorn. However, this does not mean they would outright support illegal activities, but their emphasis on national interests might temper their enthusiasm for prosecuting high-profile German business figures.
