Jozef Rakicky: Ex-AfD MP joins values union!

A sensational step in Lower Saxony politics! Jozef Rakicky, until recently chief physician of a clinic in Helmstedt, was the first member of the Conservative Value Union to join the state parliament. The 68-year-old, who has been a member of the AfD since 2016, left it in September and is now looking for a new political home. His decision could change the political climate in Lower Saxony!

"I am extremely happy about Mr. Rakicky's joining," said the Federal Chairman of the Value Union, Hans-Georg Maassen. Rakicky not only brings his medical expertise, but also a controversial past. In 2022 he made headlines with his sharp criticism of the Corona vaccinations. He describes the values union as a party with goals similar to the AfD, but without extreme positions. "The AfD has turned into a squad party," said Rakicky. Loyalty has more weight than the principles, and he no longer wants to support that.

a new way for Rakicky

The step towards the value union could be a way for Rakicky to distance themselves from the extreme positions of the AfD and to work in a more moderate environment. His decision to leave the AfD was not easy, but he sees a platform in the values union that better reflects its views. The political landscape in Lower Saxony could change significantly through this change, and the reactions to Rakicky's accession are eagerly awaited.
