Als Weidel noch gegen Sexismus kämpfte
A massive data leak has exposed the inner workings of Germany's AfD party, revealing how Bundestag member Markus Frohnmaier collected sensitive information for the Syrian Assad regime while party leader Alice Weidel internally fought against sexist election posters.
The leaked communications, obtained by journalists Pauline von Pezold and Frederik Schindler, reveal how Frohnmaier gathered sensitive information for the Syrian Assad regime while simultaneously showing Weidel's unsuccessful internal campaign against sexist election posters within the party.
The documents expose further internal conflicts, including the party's past attempt to expel a member over alleged racist remarks, who now serves as a constitutional judge in Bavaria. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the power struggle around state leader Martin Vincentz has escalated to include a criminal complaint for breach of trust.
Controversial Event
The leak also highlights an upcoming Bundestag event organized by Frohnmaier promoting a neutral 'Switzerland of the East.' The participation of Julia Mendel, former spokesperson for the Ukrainian president, has caused outrage and raised questions about the party's foreign policy agenda.
Despite being monitored by Germany's domestic intelligence service and facing accusations of radicalization, the AfD continues to gain support. The podcast 'Inside AfD' by POLITICO and WELT explores the party's rise, its supporters, and implications for Germany's political system.
