Establishment should train foreign powers
Too many AfD votes: Company cancel the construction of nursing school

The plan was already clear: a company wanted to build a nursing school in Albstadt. Now the project has been canceled – also because of the election result of the AfD.
The Benevit company has rejected plans for the construction of a nursing school in the Swabian Alb city. Originally, Benevit wanted to invest ten million euros in a new building in the Onstmettingen district, which was also to be created by an urban daycare center, reports the SWR.
One reason for the withdrawal is the election result in the past Bundestag election. In two onstmettinger polling stations, the AfD received the most votes – once 33 percent and once 37 percent.
Benevit Managing Director Kaspar Pfister said that the numbers had triggered concerns in him-because the company in the nursing school expressly wanted to train foreign nurses and at the same time integrate in Germany. Now “a very high proportion of ‘remigration'” has spoken out in the village, Pfister says. This is “not exactly beneficial” for school. “Remigration” is a right -wing extremist struggle that usually describes that a large number of people of foreign origin should leave the country – also under compulsion.
Albstadt Mayor Roland Tralmer (CDU) concludes that the election results not only change things in Berlin, but also “hit it down to the bottom”. However, he restricted that the Onstmettinger was not a “retracted right -wing extremist”. Tralmer regretted the Benevit cancellation because the nursing school would have enriched the city, but also because Albstadt absolutely needed a new daycare center.
However, the AfD election result is not the only reason for the withdrawal. Pfister actually wants to establish a new concept: “Stamblet” – a mixture of inpatient and outpatient care. Despite the announcements, the federal government has not yet recognized the model. Therefore, Pfister wants to wait for further investments for the time being.
