The dispute over the standing of Alternative for Germany has widened to include further developments in Saxony-Anhalt and in North Rhine-Westphalia. The party had earlier, at its congress in Magdeburg, presented a plan for the first 100 days in case it were to win a governing majority after the state elections, and new articles are also focusing on the question of how feasible this plan actually is. Die Zeit ↗
The program contains ten main points. According to available information, it concerns migration, public broadcasting, support for democracy, the expansion of facilities for detaining people designated for deportation, a work obligation for asylum seekers, and support for driving licenses. Candidate Ulrich Siegmund also confirmed the party's ambition to reach the state chancellery after the elections and rejected criticism from other parties, which he described as fake news. Die Zeit ↗
At the same time, tensions have deepened within the AfD itself. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the conflict between the state leadership and the party's federal leadership has escalated. State chairman Martin Vincentz wants to continue drawing up the candidate list for the state elections, even though the federal leadership had called for the process to be halted. The disputes have also brought accusations of sabotage attempts and mention of an "Operation Filibuster." Welt ↗
The debate surrounding the AfD thus concerns not only its electoral growth but also internal discipline and possible legal steps against the party. New articles also draw attention to a planned hearing on banning the AfD and to the difficulties involved in any potential action against Björn Höcke and his state association. Tagesspiegel ↗
In the coming weeks it will be decisive whether the AfD can maintain a united course ahead of the elections and whether its rivals can respond both to its concrete governing program and to the disputes within the party. Spiegel.de ↗
