Jüterbog's mayor switches to the AfD: A political earthquake!

A political earthquake is shaking Brandenburg! The non-party mayor of Jüterbog, Arne Raue, has applied for membership in the AfD and could become the first full-time mayor of this controversial party in Brandenburg. In a few weeks, Raue, who has been leading the city's fortunes for 13 years, could officially join the AfD unless there is resistance to this shocking step. The AfD is already celebrating this new addition, which could further shake up the political landscape in Germany!

Raue, who has repeatedly drawn attention to himself in the past with his dissatisfaction with the government in Brandenburg and Germany, has clearly committed himself to the AfD's political ideas in his public appearances. His criticism of the tax burden and the many regulations that burden citizens leaves no doubt that he sympathizes with the party's goals. In an interview, he stated that he could not complain about the AfD's activities locally, which underlines his closeness to the party.

AfD politics and Raue: A dangerous game?

The last few months have been marked by conspicuous bargaining between Raue and the AfD, which culminated before the state elections in September. While the AfD did not field its own candidate in the Raue constituency, Raue ran as a direct candidate and ultimately lost to an SPD candidate. The question remains: Was this all part of a secret agreement? Raue himself denies this, while the AfD district chairman confirms such an agreement.

Now Raue is apparently planning to enter the Bundestag with an AfD ticket. In an interview, he said that he agreed with the AfD's content and did not expect an outcry in his city. “I’m tired of this firewall nonsense,” he said. Raue could not only enter the political stage in Jüterbog, but also at the federal level - a step that could further fuel the waves of indignation!
