Deutsche Welle: GM Europe to move its headquarters to Germany

For the complete report from the Deutsche Welle click on this link

The small German town of Ruesselheim has not been happy with General Motors. Since GM's announcement that it would restructure German subsidiary Opel itself, rather than sell it off, Ruesselheim has been home to angry protesters calling GM's behavior "totally unacceptable" and "the ugly face of turbo-capitalism." In a move that may appease some of that anger, a GM spokesman announced Saturday it will move its European headquarters from the Swiss capital Zurich to Ruesselheim, Opel's current home. All but the headquarters of the Chevrolet brand will be included in the transfer, which should be completed before the end of the year, the spokesman said.
