The corona situation in Germany also makes life difficult for political parties.
Until recently, the AfD had hoped that its federal party conference could take place in December.
Berlin - The AfD is postponing its federal party conference planned for December 11th and 12th in Wiesbaden due to the worsening Corona situation.
The party leaders Jörg Meuthen and Tino Chrupalla announced on Friday in Berlin.
The decision in the federal board was unanimous after discussions with the boards of the regional associations.
"Due to the duty of care and responsibility towards the members, delegates and above all the employees of the AfD as well as all service providers", a face-to-face party conference was not feasible, declared the party leaders.
The meeting should now take place in 2022.
According to the federal board, a specific date should perhaps be found next week.
Just a few days ago, the federal executive board initially held on to the party congress, but referred to the then applicable 2G rules in hotels (vaccinated and recovered) in Hesse and neighboring Rhineland-Palatinate.
A significant part of the members of the AfD refuses - for various reasons - a vaccination against Covid-19.
