Violent criticism Edeka and Rewe!

Both discounters sell apple wine from the Hessian brand “Bembel with Care”. But now the founder and managing director of the manufacturer, Benedikt Kuhn, has resigned after he received violent criticism for controversial social media posts. The customers of Edeka and Rewe call for drastic consequences.

Edeka: Nazi controversy over cider maker

On May 8th, the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Kuhn had posted the sentence on his Instagram profile “Apfelweinbaron”: “The 08.05. is not a day of liberation. ”In addition, photos of Kuhn appeared in costumes with a Wehrmacht character. Customers are shocked.

“It’s really stupid,” writes one on Facebook. “Rewe, Edeka and everyone else should think about the sales and the cooperation with” Bembel with Care “pretty carefully again.” The press shop Krämer has already ended the cooperation with Kuhn’s company and the team from “Bembel with Care” has also distanced itself of Kuhn’s “private statements”.

Politicians also have a shit storm against Kuhn

The Hessian district association “DIE LINKE Bergstraße” is outraged: “He follows the basic attitude of the Reich Citizens’ Movement and apparently uses the popularity of his company to spread his right-wing extremist sentiment.”

Benedikt Kuhn describes the allegations in conversation with the “echo“As” defamatory “. And although he honestly thinks that Germany is not free, he is still not a “national nostalgic”. The photo in the Wehrmacht look was taken at a fetish party under the motto “lacquer, leather and military”.

Kuhn has completely cleared his Instagram profile. Only a completely black picture can be seen on it, its profile description has been reduced to the word “Shitstorm”.

Reactions

At the request of our editors, Edeka said: “Due to current events, we have placed an immediate order and delivery stop for the” Bembel with Care “brand and asked our trading partner, Kelterei Krämer, to comment. Accordingly, the winery will take over all brand and license rights and will cease to work with the previous owner of the brand and separate from it. “

We also received a statement from Rewe on the matter: “The recent statements by the founder of” Bemble with Care “are incompatible with the values ​​and the liberal-democratic attitude of Rewe as a distribution partner. With this in mind, we took all products under the brand from the relevant Rewe stores. ”(At)
