The leadership of the Federal party for a long time not wanted shoulder-to-shoulder from the AfD and the xenophobic Pegida movement is driven by Urban.
Chrupallas – well first of the pending nomination as Prime Minister-candidate would have a higher symbolism than the preparation of the Urban for this role.

(…) We tend to hold to, representatives of the filth and dirt of the press – so called quality media in the West under Honecker – the information first-Hand, to exclude. So what.”

And I have to prevent a mandate from the electorate, there is also the fact, that there will be one day, mosques and minarets, in the district of Görlitz.”
In the opinion of the constitutional protection for the “test case” AfD are mentioned in both Urban as well as Chrupalla. The secret service attested to the Urban an ethnic-cultural nation concept. He said: “A people can only preserve its Unity and freedom, if it remains largely homogeneous.” Chrupalla, in turn, maintains that he gave to 2018, the Berlin-based right-wing extremists, Nikolai N. for the Video channel “The people’s teachers,” an Interview – and that was not a random encounter, like the Constitution, analyzed the protection.
