Krah fights for the Bundestag: scandals accompany his restart!

Rochlitz, Deutschland - A turbulent appearance by AfD politician Maximilian Krah made headlines in Rochlitz on Saturday. The 47-year-old European politician, known for his controversial statements and scandals, was set up as a direct candidate for the Bundestag in the Chemnitz Umland constituency-Erzgebirge district II. There was chaotic scenes at the beginning of the establishment assembly when Krah initially nominated the current Member of the Confederation Mike Moncsek. However, this failed with his application due to an aggressive speech against his competitors and thus caused confusion among the approximately 80 members present, such as Bild reported.

In the second round, Krah finally started and received 47 of the 79 votes. Despite his controversial past, including the loss of his post on the AfD federal executive board and allegations of espionage against a former employee, Krah has already formulated a clear message for his election campaign: "We want to respect our parents, we want to honor our ancestors. They were not criminals," he said in his speech and positioned himself as a proud Sachse and German. It is striking that his entry into the Bundestag election coincides with the announcement by Marco Wanderwitz, a CDU politician, who is committed to a ban on the AfD and does not want to continue his mandate, so Tagesschau .

Krah, who is criticized for his questionable relationships with Russia and China as well as his relativizing statements about the National Socialist SS, could take new ground with his plans to move into the Bundestag in February 2025. The AfD, which is strongly anchored in many Saxon regions, sees him a potential candidate who could represent its beliefs on his own basis. Despite the resistance and scandals, Krah remains determined to regain lost political power.
