AfD's Secret 'Re-Migration' Meeting Sparks Outrage and Calls for Ban
Despite widespread protests, the far-right party's popularity remains strong ahead of upcoming regional elections.
- Germany's far-right AfD party is under scrutiny following revelations of a secret meeting with right-wing activists to discuss a potential 're-migration' plan involving mass deportations.
- Despite widespread protests and calls for the party's ban, the AfD's popularity remains strong, particularly in Germany's eastern states where regional elections are due later this year.
- The AfD has recently shown support for farmer protests against subsidy cuts, raising concerns about potential exploitation of the situation for political gain.
- Germany's Federal Constitutional Court recently ruled that the small far-right Die Heimat party may not receive federal funding due to its anti-democratic and ethno-nationalist goals, sparking discussions about a similar motion against the AfD.
- The AfD stands to lose over $10 million in annual public funding if such a motion is passed, which could impact the party's performance in the upcoming regional elections.
