The AfD party conference in Riesa mutates into a power struggle. Höcke confidants secure the most important posts – but a dispute breaks out and the party breaks off prematurely. Who benefits from the chaos?

Berlin, July 30, 2014. The young AfD is about to hold its first East German state elections. In the hall of the federal press conference, a political unknown raises his index finger, who will soon be the right-wing extremist face of the party: Björn Höcke. “Now you can quote me,” he recommends to the journalists present. “Höcke says, colon, quotation marks below: Political correctness is like mildew over our country. And I have stepped in to clear this political correctness away.” The journalists sneer. What kind of guy is that?
Fifty days later, Höcke got a tenth of the votes in Thuringia. What does he want today? What does he want tomorrow?
Björn Höcke has been waiting for this moment
