Austrian major donation for AfD: posters against Ukraine war published!

In a sensational turn in the run -up to the Bundestag election on February 23, 2025, the controversial party Alternative for Germany (AfD) received a massive donation of 2.35 million euros. This comes from Gerhard Dingler, a former official of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), whose campaign is already visible nationwide through striking yellow posters. According to the Krone it is the largest individual donation for the AfD, which is implemented in the form of 6,400 posters to position the party in the political arena.

The posters that are not part of the official election campaign were designed regardless of an external service provider in North Rhine-Westphalia and are supposed to attack the Union, SPD and Greens in the areas of migration, energy and economic policy. Gerhard Dingler emphasized that his motivation behind this large donation was concerned about the escalation of the Ukraine War because he sees the AfD as the only credible peace party in Germany, reported Br.de . This support is the third large donation within a few days for the AfD, which recently recorded amounts of 1.5 million and 999,990 euros.

The Bundestag administration officially registered the donation, which is part of the legal requirements for large donations from 35,000 euros. In the interview, Dingler, whose donation comes from his private wealth, said that no direct money was made to the AfD, but was only made possible by providing the posters. As the former FPÖ state manager, he also expressed that the posters are already printed and ready for publication, and he fears that Germany could interfere militarily into the Ukraine conflict after the election.
