[HIGHLIGHTS] Höcke already held a meeting at his place: the AfD's biggest donor comes from Hesse

Höcke already held a meeting at his place: the AfD's biggest donor comes from Hesse. This makes the 71-year-old from Hessen the party's largest financial supporter in Germany.

The AfD donation was the largest donation by an individual to a party represented in the Bundestag until Christoph Alexander Kahl's CDU donation in December 2023. With Hartmut Issmer's six-figure donation to the party, another measurable level has now been exceeded in the continued rise of right-wing and presumably right-Wing extremist political movements in Germany, writes Paul Eisbach.
