Alice Weidel: Further vertebrae to visit the AfD boss in Regensburg

A visit by AfD boss Alice Weidel in Regensburg in connection with the castle festival there continues to strike waves. The 46-year-old received an invitation to the music festival from host Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis, in which various high-ranking artists appear from July 18 to 27. On Monday evening, pop singer Vicky Leandros was on stage. According to a “picture” report, this had explained that the AfD boss was “not welcome” when she received an invitation from Weidel’s invitation.

According to her spokesman Daniel Tapp, Weidel stayed away from the performance. “She had an invitation and then she decided not to go,” he said on Tuesday when asked. According to a new “picture” report, Weidel was at said evening at St. Emmeram Castle, on the site of which the festival takes place.

On a photo shown by “Bild”, Weidel with champagne glass can be seen at a table next to host Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis. Weidel’s spokesman confirmed the authenticity of the photo, but also said on request that he was on Tuesday: Alice Weidel had an invitation to the festival, but remained away. The private premises of the castle are not part of the festival site.

For motivation to invite Weidel, Gloria had told Fürstin of Thurn and Taxis that she knew the AfD boss personally that the invitation was purely private.

Weidel himself wrote at X, Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis she did not unload her, “I decided because of the theater not to go to the concert. I’m not a fan of this music anyway”. Instead, they spent a wonderful time in the private rooms of the castle together with good friends.
