"We
discussed many issues at VW yesterday, not only Mr Mueller. We
are very conscious that there is no alternative. The question
does not arise," said Joerg Hofmann, who is deputy chairman of
the six-man supervisory board committee.
"The impression he gives is that he is working in a very serious
and results-oriented way on the problems. People like to
speculate but there is neither cause nor reason to express doubt
on this issue."
Hofmann was speaking on Wednesday at a news conference of the IG
Metall trade union, of which he is president.
A Volkswagen spokesman said on Tuesday that Mueller had the
backing of top players on the supervisory board, dismissing
rumors that support for him is crumbling due to his handling of
the emissions crisis in the United States.
Mueller was appointed to the role last September after the
emissions scandal broke.
