Markus Frohnmaier wrote that BMW provides company cars to representatives of established parties, but denied one to Tobias Rausch after he was elected president of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt for the AfD. Frohnmaier described this as sad and accused BMW of disregarding the will of the 44 percent of people in Saxony-Anhalt. At the same time, he predicted that the incident would lead citizens to vote for the AfD even more. #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #BMW (translated)

Tobias Rausch, the new President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, has assured that he will perform his duties impartially and fairly, which both evokes recognition and skepticism, especially in light of his connections to the AfD and his previous politics. #TobiasRausch #SachsenAnhalt #Landtagspräsident (translated)

NIUS commentator Hartmann described BMW's actions as "own goal of the week." The manufacturer withdrew its leasing offer for the President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt after the AfD politician Tobias Rausch was elected to the office.

North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Il was also allowed to appear with a BMW from the 7 Series. https://t.co/H5YCu44SDC #BMW #Politik #Kontroversen (translated)

When it came to elevating a right-wing extremist to the highest office of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, nine out of fifteen CDU representatives consciously chose to do so - either by approval or by abstention.

Fred Gehrmann wrote to Karl Lauterbach that BMW had withdrawn the leasing contract for Rausch. He suspected that this had been the last BMW for the company fleet.
