Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has criticized the decision of the giant German automaker “Volkswagen” to cancel curry sauce, a popular dish of sausage served with curry sauce in Germany, from the list of foods provided by the company’s restaurant to workers in its headquarters in Wolfsburg.

"If we were still on the supervisory board of (Volkswagen), this would not have happened," Schroeder wrote on the social networking site "LinkedIn", last Tuesday.

"The vegetarian diet is good, and I do it gradually, but basically you can't cancel the curry sausage," he added.

Schroeder, the former leader of the German Social Democratic Party, doubted that Volkswagen employees had agreed to this decision, and said that “curry sauce with French fries is one of the energy poles of the skilled labor at the production sites.

It must remain so.”

Schroeder launched a hashtag on the social networking site "Save the curry sauce", saying: "I do not want to cancel it, and I think there are many who do not want to repeat this in their restaurants."

It is noteworthy that Schroeder, who preceded the current chancellor, Angela Merkel, at the age of 77, was prime minister of Lower Saxony from 1990 to 1998, and a representative of the state on the supervisory board of “Volkswagen”, and he follows his account on the site “LinkedIn”.

It is noteworthy that "Volkswagen" decided to remove the dish of curry sauce from the menu at his restaurant in his headquarters as part of its move towards a vegetarian diet for its employees, according to an internal memo.
