There is a dispute about Iran in the AfD: Why is a party critical of migration protecting the mullahs’ regime, asks FOCUS online chief correspondent Ulrich Reitz and analyzes the paradox of the far right.
FOCUS online chief correspondent Ulrich Reitz in his talk with moderator Carolin Büchel, quotes the Bavarian AfD member of the Bundestag Rainer Kraft, who said this immediately after the statement by the two party leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla: “If right-wing patriots sound like Annalena Baerbock, then there is a good chance that they are not right-wing patriots at all.”
Iran: contradiction within the AfD
Weidel and Chrupalla were “very concerned”. US and Israeli attacks on military facilities in Iran noted. They defended international law and said that “renewed destabilization of the Middle East is not in Germany’s interest and must be stopped.”
Reitz points to the contradiction from the AfD itself – from Baden-Württemberg’s top candidate Markus Frohnmaier. Accordingly, Iran has been “the central destabilizing factor in the region” for decades.
Reitz about a paradox
Reitz analyzes a paradox: Why is a party that fights migration and Islamism not interested in overthrowing the mullahs’ regime? Finally is Tehran For years he has been one of the main responsible for the refugee movements to Germany.
