With a sentence outside of the AfD-Federal Chairman Alexander Gauland, the party reorganised: The Right”wing”, with its leader, Björn Höcke is in the future, see as the voice of the entire AfD to.
“Lord Höcke does not put the party to the right, Mr Höcke is the middle of the party,” said Gauland, according to the Thuringia election. The three Landtag elections in the East, in which “wing”candidates were strong points, change the image of the party.
Höcke has long been regarded as the figurehead of the extreme Right in the AfD. He was one of the initiators of the “Erfurter Resolution” by March 2015, which is regarded as the founding document of the “wing”. The Resolution is directed against the adjustment of the AfD to the “established policy”, the party must remain, instead, “resistance movement”.
So the “wings” from the beginning, was – contrary to the line of the party leadership to cooperate with the xenophobic Pegida movement. Representatives of the party flow and fell repeatedly in the past by Nazi rhetoric. Höckes most important comrade-in-arms, the Brandenburg AfD-Chef Andreas Kalbitz, used long been in close contacts to right-wing extremist camp.
“Always extremist”
However, the classification of the “wing” as a suspected case by the protection of the Constitution at the beginning of the year, the voters are not scared – just as a court decision from the end of September, may that be Höcke referred to as “fascist”. On the contrary, 27.5% in Saxony, 23.5 per cent in Brandenburg and is now 23.4 percent for Höcke in Thuringia, the AfD recorded in the election year of 2019.
recently, the protection of the Constitution chief Thomas Haldenwang said, the “wings” going ballistic “always extreme”. So you have to be in Kalbitz “not apparent that he has distanced himself from his past”.

Gauland rejected on election night, too. The protection of the Constitution was, for him, “no scale”, said the AfD-Chairman of the TV station Phoenix. Allegations, Höcke was quite radical, were “complete nonsense”.
Federal Congress as a gauge
As the more Moderate of the party the appreciation Höckes and the rise in power of the “wing” handle, is likely to show up in just five weeks on the AfD in the Federal Congress in Braunschweig, where the tip is re-elected.
Already in the beginning of the year, Gauland had said, the “wings” could bring on party days, up to 40 per cent of the delegates behind. This was before the choice to follow in the East.
