The friendly alternative to Tesla

lexlip Intel management has just finished speaking at the Irish chip factory in Leixlip, in the greater Dublin area. The delegation of Saxony-Anhalt is already preparing to wake up. Then Prime Minister Rainer Haselov took the floor abruptly: “This is exactly what we want it to be,” the politician from the CDU comments on the statements of company representatives on environmental protection and citizen participation.

He is convinced that Intel is dealing with a company that not only abides by applicable law, but also takes a community approach, which means it takes the locals with it. “It’s a different company philosophy than anywhere else,” the 68-year-old explains.

Tesla does not mention Haselov by syllable. But it is also clear that the Sovereign strongly assumes that Intel will not build its new plants in Magdeburg – unlike the leading US electric car company in Grunheide in Brandenburg – but in agreement with the authorities and local residents.
