Dispute over FSG: Windhorst threatens Madsen with legal consequences!

In a dramatic exchange of blows between Lars Windhorst, the controversial investor of the FSG-Nobiskrug Werftengruppe, and Schleswig-Holstein's Minister of Economic Affairs Claus Ruhe Madsen (CDU), the future of the company will be put to the test. Madsen has repeatedly demanded that Windhorst will resign, while Windhorst now threatens with legal steps in an open letter. The situation is tense: Almost all 530 employees are released and the salary payments are delayed - a real disaster for the shipyard.

Windhorst strikes back!

"It is a remarkable process," writes Windhorst and sharply criticizes Madsen for his public views on the company's bankruptcy. He refers to the bankruptcy of the Kirch Group and emphasizes that personal attacks do not help the company. Windhorst calls on Madsen to provide specific information about potential investors who are interested in a takeover. "If you say there is an investor from abroad who wants to take over the shipyards but do not want to speak to me as the owner, then tell me this investor and the details of his offer," says Windhorst.

Madsen stays hard!

Madsen counters that Windhorst has not followed any of his promises and therefore sees no basis for further discussions. "Trust is not only gone from the Minister of Economic Affairs, but also from subcontractors and many people who have to do with him," explains Madsen. During a joint visit to the FSG with Prime Minister Daniel Günther, both again demanded that Windhorst clear the way for new investors. The 530 employees in Flensburg and Rendsburg continue to be there without work while the machines stand still and the confidence disappears.
