AfD Politicians’ Secret Meeting with Neo-Nazis – Die Tageszeitung

Politicians from the far-right party “Alternative for Germany” held a secret meeting in the federal state of Brandenburg, where they discussed “regime change” in Germany and a right-wing revolution.

This was reported by the Berlin newspaper Die Tageszeitung (Taz), citing its sources.

A secret meeting involving politicians from AfD took place in Brandenburg last week. The think tank Metapol, according to the experts cited in the material, organised the meeting, uniting far-right extremist and neo-Nazi groups and parties.

“History shows that a stable regime change can only occur when, in addition to an ‘engaged’ mass organisation, there is also an intellectually grounded vanguard that addresses current issues and responds to them seriously,” Taz quotes the invitation.

Erik Arens, one of “Alternative for Germany’s” strategists, and Tin Krause, a politician from “AfD” running in the upcoming Sunday elections for the Brandenburg state parliament, both attended the meeting.

Krause acknowledged his attendance at the event but refuted any plans for a coup there. He explained that it was about a “spiritual and moral turn,” not a “violent change of the current political system,” and that there were no neo-Nazis or racists at the meeting.

At the beginning of the year, the German portal Correctiv published an investigation revealing that representatives of the “Alternative for Germany” party discussed the deportation of descendants of migrants with far-right extremists. This led to numerous protests against the far-right.

As we reported earlier, the German far-right party, AfD, also expressed pro-Russian sentiments. In exchange for increased US “sovereignty” over Germany, the EU candidates, led by Maximilian Krah, want the country to alter its foreign policy towards China and Russia.

The support for the far-right AfD is rising ahead of the upcoming elections in the eastern German state of Brandenburg on Sunday.

According to the latest opinion polls conducted by the Insa Institute, the AfD is on course to secure the first position, with an expected score of up to 28%. This is nearly five percentage points higher than the party’s performance in the 2019 elections. The Social Democrats (SPD) of Chancellor Olaf Scholz are anticipated to secure the second position, with the centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU) to finish third.
