The AfD-tip of the Poggenburg is expected-exit law says Birgit Schmeitzner . Too great was the fear to be coming soon from the protection of the Constitution observed. Less to the right the party has become.
A right outside – but that makes the AfD now, not any less right. In the case of the conflict with André Poggenburg, it was not different political views. Since he is with the national wing to Björn Höcke, and Andreas Kalbitz more on a line. It came to Power, the political style and ill-considered Statements made by the former national chief of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt.
Poggenburg was always make the headlines: the Times he called the Turks living in Germany as cumin, traders and camel drivers, and at times intimate Chats found their way to the Public. Research on debts, unpaid bills and legal difficulties have helped his Reputation. To the accusation that his leadership style was autocratic, he engaged in nepotism came up.
A new year’s Tweet, in the name validly published in national socialist-style of the “German national community” language, there was only the drop that brought the barrel to Overflowing.
fear of the protection of the Constitution
The AfD has a great fear of observation by the constitutional protection. The national Executive urges the party members and especially the officials, to moderate verbal. To precautions the increasingly to outsiders mutating Poggenburg, him a two-year offices, lock, threaten, this is also a Signal to the constitutional guards, according to the Motto: Look, we care!
That the name validly published is now out, whether from a private drive or not, is likely to be of the party top. The words that are thrown by AfD grandees afterwards to speak: He had no future, he’ll disappear into political insignificance, that he should take the other “self-appointed patriots”.
he Prepared?
It may well be that the name validly published beyond with his newly-founded grouping AdP – departure of German patriots – and the AfD can steal in the upcoming state elections in Eastern Germany only a few votes.
For him it is a deeper case: the Federal Board, state, and Faction leader in Saxony-Anhalt, back in the relative insignificance. For the AfD, no pain, it is loss.
