BMW Withdraws Leasing Offer for AfD State Parliament President's Official Car

BMW has withdrawn its leasing offer for the official vehicle of Saxony-Anhalt's state parliament president, Tobias Rausch of the AfD, without providing a reason. The move is widely interpreted as a response to Rausch's election, marking a rare corporate intervention in German state politics. The withdrawal may complicate Rausch's ability to secure an official car and signals potential reputational risks for companies engaging with AfD officials.
