Local council candidate from Stuttgart is said to have employed the Thai police. Niels Foitzik came fourth on the AfD list for the local council elections on June 9th.

The politician wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he was in a “health emergency” The 32-year-old Foitzk is a member of the Afd district executive committee in St.uttgart. He and the first on the list, Michael Mayer, are both promoting a campaign to leave the “Seebrücke’s alliance’ The AfD is divided by a power struggle between federal spokeswoman Alice Weidel and Bundestag member Dirk Spaniel, who is also co-leader of the Young Alternative state executive. The second candidate, Steffen Degler, is even more radical: In the JA state association's podcast, he repeatedly speaks to actors from the right-wing fringe of the AFD. He allowed AfD-NRW board member Matthias Helferich to claim unchallenged that “replacement migration” was taking place in Germany.
