GERMANY'S AFD IS NOT THE RIGHT WING PARTY YOU LIKE FROM YOUR COUNTRY.

The French far right don't want any contact with the AfD, the Scandinavian nationalists avoid AfD at all cost, and even the Polish nationalists (PiS) don't put themselves on a picture together with AfD.

Since the foundation of the AfD, the leaders are push off the edge and have to leave the party on a regular basis. Every time, the less extreme option is push out of the door by more radical ones. The present leaders are not the last stage of this escalation. At each stage, there is a network of new activists who prepare the next coup.

At the moment, the man at the centre of the influence in the background is Sebastian Münzenmaier. He is known from the radical clearly nazi ultra soccer supporters. He is at the centre of the organization of the party. He comes from the Burschenschaft Joungblut, with other friends from there in the European Parliament.

Add Gnauck und Hohloch, pushing for the lesbian blond as Chancellor candidate, and not their actual ideological leader Höcke. it's purely strategical, the blond lesbian looks soft and easier to sell to the other conservatives. They are now pushing the other one, Krupalla, who would be the actual man of the situation from a nationalist perspective but would not be able to look good in the media.

Münzenmaier has a clear strategy: Put all the money on the country side, and grab power in a region with no big city (it seems to be Sachsen-Anhalt). That would then become the centre of the power struggle towards Berlin. The Austrian painter used Munich in Bavaria, they use another territory.

They also target youth, in order to have an endless supply of leaders for all kinds of positions. All of that only goes through the Münzenmaier network. The youth organization exists in a new form because the previous one was desolved for anticonstitutional positions.

The radicalization is real. Each new wave of fresh blood in the party is more to the right extreme than the previous one. All the leaders of all parts of this network are documented neonazis with so called roman greeting (the one with the arm high) on pictures. And the whole thing with direct connections with small groups that are proud nazis like Revolte Rheinland.

AfD strengthens those connections in the background but declares openly they do not support them. Pure double speak.

Weidel is the clean face of a dirty network. Do not project your favorite Conservative Party on to the German AfD. It's not the same.
