At the recent congress of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party held in the city of Erfurt, Alice Weidel and Tobias Chrupalla were re-elected to their positions with 81 and 70 percent of the votes, respectively. This election took place under circumstances where a large number of protesters had blocked access outside the congress venue.
Demonstrations and Reactions
The police reported that about 31,000 people participated in the demonstrations, reflecting public dissatisfaction with the party's policies. This event clearly illustrates the political tensions in Germany and the increasing opposition to the AfD party, which continues to grow and strengthen its base.
The re-election of Weidel and Chrupalla as leaders of this party raises questions about the future of the party's policies and their impact on political life in Germany. While these two are recognized as representatives of radical views, it remains to be seen whether this election can lead to the maintenance or increase of support for the AfD.
