This is the conclusion of a study of the Marburger education researcher Benno Hafeneger and his local colleague Hannah Jestädt, which appeared in the Frankfurter wochenschau-Verlag ("The AfD in the Hessian Parliament – a new style of politics and its effects"). In order to reach your goal, set the AfD group to openly or subtly ideologically formulated, with insinuations, defamation and scandal authorizations related questions and requests, which should provoke and unsettle.

The authors of the study classify the Hessian AfD-landesverband as rather moderate, however, all the currents of the party belonged to him, even the people's "wings", which has dissolved in the meantime.
