Parties: Interior Minister Maier sees Höcke strengthened after the AfD party conference

The AfD held its party conference, and candidates from the more moderate camp fell even further behind. Thuringia’s Interior Minister Georg Maier sees party right wing Björn Höcke strengthened.

According to Thuringia’s Interior Minister Georg Maier (SPD), the Thuringian AfD party and parliamentary group leader Björn Höcke emerged strengthened from the AfD federal party conference at the weekend in Riesa.

Höcke drives the party and the chairmen Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel in front of him, Maier told the editorial network Germany. It is only a matter of time before he completely dominates the party. “Then he will reach for the presidency,” said Maier. In Thuringia, this process has already been completed. “The AfD is clearly a right-wing extremist Höcke party here.”

The AfD delegates elected a new party executive committee in Riesa, Saxony, last Saturday, with Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as co-chairs. Supporters of Höcke, such as Christina Baum, member of the Bundestag, are represented on the board.
