Overview

• The AfD, following electoral gains, seeks five committee chairmanships, five deputy chairmanships, and a Vice President role in the Bundestag.
• The SPD, Greens, and Left Party oppose granting the AfD leadership roles, citing its classification as a 'right-wing extremist suspected case' by Verfassungsschutz.
• The CDU/CSU adopts a neutral stance, emphasizing democratic processes but refraining from outright support for AfD candidates.
• AfD representatives must face democratic elections for these roles, with no automatic entitlement based on proportional representation.
• The Bundestag's first session on Tuesday will likely highlight unresolved tensions over the AfD's role in parliamentary leadership.
