Double salary: AfD is the party of the lying better earners

The AfD fights for the little people. The AfD argues against waste. The AfD is modest.

All this and much more claims the self -appointed alternative for Germany. That is why it was very much against the automatic diet increase in the Bundestag. The other parties would “shamelessly use the public pots”, sounded federal party deputy Stephan Brandner. “That has to stop immediately.”

In fact, the 151 AfD parliamentary group members voted bravely with no. After that, they naturally inserted the additional money. In any case, the increase will not be donated.

Quite the opposite. The top of the parliamentary group could now be approved for a lavish bonus. At the unanimous decision of all MPs, the allowances for parliamentary group leader and other officials were drastically increased. From then on, the party leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla receive double MP compensation: a total of 24,000 euros per month.

The functional allowances were adapted from the AfD due to the doubled number of deputies and “the grown meaning” of the faction as the strongest opposition power. In general, the bonuses would have been below the parliamentary average.

Aha. The AfD suddenly takes the “old parties” and “cartel parties” that is notoriously denounced by it. And she treats herself even more. Because the Greens pay their functions significantly less than the AfD, while the left, claims to do without any allowances. So the AfD is not just rushing against political competition. She also hypocrisies.

Of course, this cannot surprise it, rather it fits into a pattern: the AfD has always liked to take every available tax euro from the system that it despises. Her MPs are also happy to ride the first class on the train for free, while their officials are covered up in limousines.

A Björn Höcke has also lived extremely comfortably in the so -called resistance for more than a decade. As a parliamentary group leader in Erfurt, he has long received a significantly increased MP compensation. And of course he lets his driver chauffeure through the Thuringian country.

This bigotry fits a party that is currently collecting more donation scandals than all other parties. And she fits a party leader Weidel who lives with her family in Switzerland, although she wants to become a German Chancellor.

But between claims and reality, the AfD traditionally gives a particularly large gap. It is not just a populist and sometimes extreme party. She is also a party of a lying high -rise earner.
