AfD receives almost six million euros in an inheritance - shock for the opposition!

A sensational turn in the election campaign is now apparently urged to the alternative for Germany (AfD) by the inheritance of a deceased Berliner. As Der SPIEGEL , the AfD was inherited from 5,957,969.66 euros. The testator, Helga Schwab from Berlin-Dahlem, sent the right-wing populist party to her assets in her will. In addition, the AfD acquired two apartment buildings in the districts of Dahlem and Schöneberg in the same year, the total value of which is estimated at over 2 million euros. Whether these properties are part of the inheritance remains unknown.

This inheritance represents a significant increase in the pure assets of the AfD. While its assets of 23.5 million euros in 2022 rose to 38.3 million euros in 2023, it shows how wealthy the party has become. In the past few years, the AfD has always been a recipient of millions, including a controversial will of a mentally ill man from Lower Saxony, who wanted to pass on more than ten million euros to the party, which was challenged by his relatives. These events raise questions about the financial support of the AfD, since the FPÖ, a similar right -wing populist party in Austria, has also donated millions for the AfD election campaign, such as FOCUS reported.

The AfD is not only strengthened by this financial grant, but also gains relevance in political discourse. With its increased assets and the support of wealthy donors, the party is better positioned to pursue its election campaign goals. Inheritance could also have a crucial influence on the federal political competition.
