The guy who owns Mueller dairy has ties to the far right? Good to know which brand I’ll be boycotting from now on. Seems like this should become a larger story, given they sell Muller products outside of Germany too.
Mein Deutsch ist schlecht, aber gab es auch nicht frueher ein Gerucht dass Müllermilchs Inhaber die NPD unterstützt?
Most animal agriculture has ties to the right. Increasingly so as more and more people realize animal agriculture is a major driver of climate change. Climate change denier are most of the time right, far right, conservative. The industry is looking for support and they find it at the far right side.
Same thing in the Netherlands. There’s a common misconception that farmers are poor small landowners, who care for nature and the natural landscape.
Those are long gone or incredibly rare. What’s left is large landowners from (quasi-)aristocratic families or large corporations, hoarding their wealth and land. Often they hire foreign workers to do the actual work, treating them badly in the process. And pollution. So much pollution.

It’s a rumour for almost 20 years now, but I don’t think it is correct. It would do little harm to boycott Müller though…

TAZ zumindest meint: Nee, eher nicht.
More so. This guy had far right connections before the far right was a relevant political force in Germany.TIL: It was actually a rumor.
