Mission Lebenshaus dismissed an employee after she stood as an AfD candidate in local elections in Lower Saxony, citing a 'question of stance.'

The church company Mission Lebenshaus dismissed an employee after she ran as a candidate for the AfD in the local elections in Lower Saxony. The employer justified the termination with a so-called 'question of stance.' The affected employee, however, claims that her employer pressured her to withdraw her candidacy and is threatening legal action. These developments were supported by a video showing an AfD member of the Bundestag who supports the diaconal institution and accuses it of having committed a crime in the incident. The entire situation leads to a public dispute over the reasons for dismissal and the political orientation within the corporate sector.
