Kühnen emphasized that the AfD’s positions, particularly on remigration, are incompatible with the values of family-owned enterprises like Bahlsen. He argued that the company requires skilled labor and stable economic conditions, asserting that the AfD does not represent a viable alternative for either business or personal beliefs. Kühnen also highlighted the importance of fostering a culture of openness and responsibility within the company, encouraging employees at all levels to provide feedback and engage in democratic advocacy.
