At the recent party conference held in Erfurt, Germany, the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) re-elected co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla. Weidel received 81.3% of the votes from attendees, marking a slight increase from her previous election, while Chrupalla garnered 70.05%, indicating a drop in support. The conference served as a platform for the party to express ambitions of governing Germany directly, amidst a backdrop of increasing electoral contests in the coming months.
The gathering was notable not only for its leadership outcomes but also for the protests it attracted. Around 20,000 demonstrators assembled outside the venue to oppose the conference, with incidents of violence reported, including attacks on local AfD offices and minor police clashes. Additionally, a contentious proposal from Björn Höcke, AfD leader in Thuringia, to abolish the party's "unsuitable" list was removed from the agenda, highlighting ongoing internal dynamics within the AfD. The re-election of Weidel and Chrupalla reflects their continued influence and the party's strategic positioning as it navigates the political landscape in Germany.
