Does the election of the new state executive bring a change of course for the Hessian AfD?
Country spokesman Robert Lambrou wants to run for the post again.
Frankfurt / Main - The Hessian AfD board spokesman Robert Lambrou has warned his party against public trench warfare. Dispute harms every party, said Lambrou at the state party conference on Saturday in Frankfurt. Positions have to be fought for. There are also different positions in the Hessian regional association. However, these should not be applied in public. He stands for a wide range in the AfD. However, clear boundaries would have to be drawn to the right-hand edge.
At the start of the party congress, which was initially scheduled for two days, the Hessian AfD member of the Bundestag Joana Cotar called on her party to be more united.
The AfD must stop tearing itself apart, said the assessor on the AfD federal executive board.
The party should appear more sympathetic overall and, above all, appeal to more young people.
The AfD also needs more young people in its front row.
Around two weeks after the federal elections, the agenda for the state party congress included the election of the Hessian federal delegates.
A motion to postpone the planned election of the state executive to a party congress in November was withdrawn after a brief debate.
It was not yet clear whether this election would actually take place over the weekend.
At the meeting in Frankfurt there was a large number of personal votes.
The candidates as federal delegates all introduced themselves individually.
Several participants emphasized that the entire spectrum of the party should be represented in the important bodies.

Heated debates in the Landtag session with the new government
The Hessian AfD is currently led by a dual leadership.
Two years ago, Lambrou and Klaus Herrmann were confirmed in their offices as state spokesmen with 58.7 percent and 50.1 percent of the votes cast at a party congress.
Lambrou, who is also chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in the Hessian state parliament, wants to run for the post again.
However, there should be other applicants.
It should also be clarified whether the Hessian state association will continue to be run with a dual leadership or only with a spokesman.
Around 200 delegates took part in the Hessian AfD state party conference on Saturday.
In front of the hall, a small group protested against the party.
There were posters with the words “AfD not welcome”, “Stand up against racism” and “Dear refugees, welcome to Germany!”.
The AfD achieved a result of 10.3 percent of the vote in the Bundestag election after 12.6 percent in the previous election.
In Hesse, the AfD got 8.8 percent (minus 3.1) of the vote in the federal election.
