As the far-right Alternative for Germany gains more power in eastern Germany, companies there find it increasingly hard to attract the skilled foreign workers they desperately need.

A view of the city center of Jena, the economy hub of German federal state Thuringia, with the Jenoptik head office center right, photographed from the Landgraf viewing point Monday, Aug. 12, 2024. – When electrical engineer Preetam Gaikwad first moved to Jena in 2013, she was smitten by what the eastern German city had to offer: a prestigious university, top research institutions, and cutting-edge technology companies, global leaders in their field.

More and more prospective employees tell Traeger that while they would love to work for Jenoptik, they won’t take a job there because they don’t want to live in a state dominated by a hard-right party that ostracizes migrants or other minorities such as members of the LGBTQI+ community. Thuringia’s cities and villages are plastered with AfD election posters carrying the slogan “summer, sun, remigration,” and the photo of a plane dubbed “deportation airline” that’s meant to fly out all those people that the party and its voters don’t want in Germany.

Or the elderly neighbor she greets in German who stops her one day to say, “It makes me uncomfortable when I see so many people with strange skin and hair color here in Jena.”
