Diakonie President of General-Anzeiger Bonn: Whoever chooses the AfD must go

Diakonie President Rüdiger Schuch recently made it clear that he will not accept convinced AfD voters within his organization. He emphasized that people who choose the AfD with a full conviction does not have any space in Diakonie. This clear attitude shows that Schuch is determined to maintain the values and principles of diakonia and ensure that they do not collide with the views of the AfD.

Schuch’s statement also reflects the broader debate about the role of political beliefs in the professional environment, especially in organizations that are committed to social and humanitarian values. It raises questions about the reconciling of certain political beliefs with the ethical principles and goals of such organizations. It is a topic that is becoming increasingly important, since political opinions and identities often polarize.

The Position of Schuch could trigger controversy within the diakonia and beyond. It will be interesting to observe how employees, supporters and the public will react to this clear point of view as a whole. The debate about political loyalty and professional responsibility will undoubtedly continue because organizations such as Diakonie make their commitment to values and norms clear.

It remains to be seen whether Schuch's view will lead to a discussion within the diakonia and other organizations, how political differences should be dealt with among the members. These developments can offer insights into the increasing polarization and political tensions in society and emphasize the need to establish clear guidelines and values in organizations in order to promote an environment of openness and mutual respect.
