AfD: Chrupalla and Weidel are available for discussions with Wagenknecht

After the controversial meeting of the AfD and BSW faction leader in Thuringia, AfD Federal Chairman Tino Chrupalla also supports such contacts at the federal level. When asked whether he and the co-chair Alice Weidel would be available for discussions with Sahra Wagenknecht, he told the broadcaster World TV: “Yes, so always.” According to him, there are even discussions with the BSW. The content said Chrupalla: “About what moves Germany and how to change majorities.”

Chrupalla said for the meeting of the Thuringian BSW BSW parliamentary group leader Frank Augsten with the AfD parliamentary group leader Björn Höcke: “This is absolutely correct and above all in the citizens’ interest. The citizens have chosen this here.” The AfD is by far the strongest strength in Thuringia and is excluded by the other parties.

The Thuringian AfD has been classified and observed by the state constitutional protection since 2021. Höcke is one of the spokesman of the extreme right in the AfD.

At 4.981 percent, the BSW almost missed moving into the Bundestag in February. In election campaigns, the new party promised a “consistent peace policy” and a “stop of uncontrolled migration”.

According to a message, Augsten said that he and Höcke had “spoken constructively and openly about our different perspectives, problems and perspectives of current state politics”. Höcke denied that the AfD has an interest in the fact that the state does not work.
