The East Brandenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry expressed concern about the impact of the activists’ actions on the region’s economy. General manager Monique Zweig stated that the actions could damage the region’s prospects, particularly as Tesla’s settlement had been a source of hope for local young people.

The officials noted the contrast between public figures in the region and a group of masked protesters making threats. They expressed their confusion and concern about this situation.
