Krah and Helferich: AfD politicians return to the Bundestag!

In a explosive turn in German political events, the focus is on the controversial AfD MP Maximilian Krah and Matthias Helferich, since they each achieved a mandate after the latest federal election. Party leader Tino Chrupalla was optimistic about her admission to the AfD's new parliamentary group. "I assume that they will be recorded," he told Phoenix on Monday. The final decision should be made during the constituent parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday, whereby the state groups are advised today, as Chrupalla added.

controversial pre -stories and election gains

Maximilian Krah secured a direct mandate in the constituency of Chemnitz Umland-Erzgebirge district and, as the former top candidate of the AfD, has made a name for itself in the European elections, but not without scandals. Previously, he had been criticized for trivializing statements about the Waffen-SS and an employee. His party colleague Matthias Helferich, who described himself as the "friendly face of the NS", joined the Bundestag again via the North Rhine-Westphalian state list. Helferich was previously without a faction and had recruited the AfD parliamentary group again after a controversial past.

Both politicians are considered extremely right even under AfD conditions and have already been the target of the part of the party. However, Chrupalla and Helferich were confident that the majority will of the members in North Rhine-Westphalia will be decisive for their appointments. Krah argued with a "clear voter valum" for his support. The upcoming parliamentary group meeting will decide whether the AfD will again accept these controversial characters in their ranks, which media like and Stern overwrite as a development of enormous importance.
