AfD Receives Record €2.35 Million Donation from Former FPÖ Official

The donation, the largest in the party's history, funds a major poster campaign and highlights concerns over Germany's potential military aid to Ukraine.

The €2.35 million donation, declared as a non-cash contribution, includes 6,395 campaign posters already printed and set for nationwide distribution.
Gerhard Dingler, a former FPÖ official from Austria, confirmed he made the donation, citing fears of escalating conflict in Ukraine as his motivation.
Dingler stated his opposition to the possible delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine by a future German government as a key reason for supporting the AfD.
This is the third significant donation to the AfD in recent days, following contributions of €1.5 million and €999,900, all disclosed to the Bundestag as required.
The AfD has refrained from commenting further on the donation, while authorities are investigating potential irregularities in previous contributions to the party.
