“Vote for Europe on 26.5 — it’s about freedom, it’s about prosperity, it’s about our Europe,” read a huge poster in downtown Munich unveiled on Monday by Bavarian industry federation VBW. “I ask all German companies to clearly show their colours,” he wrote, cautioning that “anti-Europeans from the left and the right” could end up obstructing the European parliament.

Among other German business players, the Central Association of German Trade has published a “Yes to Europe” leaflet, while Ruhr industrial region giants Thyssenkrupp, RWE, Eon and Evonik will also encourage their employees to vote. Kritikos said the Brexit drama had driven home the point in the remaining 27 EU states that “it would be fatal for businesses if the single market were to break up”.
