She wanted to pacify the state association, but under the surface things are still simmering in the Southwest AfD. After two years, Alice Weidel no longer wants to become head of state.
Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Alice Weidel no longer wants to run for state chair at the next party conference of the Southwest AfD. The German Press Agency learned this from party circles. Weidel is also the leader of the parliamentary group in the Bundestag. It was said that she wanted to focus on the offices in Berlin. The state association wants to re-elect the board at a party conference in Bad Cannstatt in early July. Weidel took office as head of state in February 2020 in order to pacify the divided state association. In the state elections last year, the AfD suffered heavy losses. She landed at 9.7 percent - a minus of 5.4 points.
