AfD youth in Berlin: resolution or new beginning? Exciting developments!

Berlin, Deutschland - The AfD plans a comprehensive restructuring of its youth organization, the "young alternative" (yes), which was classified by the constitutional protection as secure right -wing extremist. The Federal Executive Board intends to dissolve and integrate their members into a new, closer youth organization in order to professionalize the party and to counteract a possible dissolution of the yes. This would be a strategic move to protect the organization and its members from a ban, as reported from reports from rbb24 The Berlin YES supports this initiative, while there are clear criticism in other national associations that consider the plans as a loss of independence.

criticism and support within the AfD

The planned resolution is sharply criticized in particular from Brandenburg. Anna, the chairwoman of the yes, described the procedure as "completely wrong" and fears a degradation to the "dogs" of the mother party. Despite these inconsistent voices in the federal territory, the Berlin JA-HEFER Martin Kohler hits the breach: he sees the need and chance of binding the youth organization to the AfD in order to preserve influence and opportunities for his own impulses within the party. In particular, the reorganization of the yes could double the membership figures, since in the future all AfD members up to 35 could automatically belong to the new youth organization, as the Tagesschau reported.
