History
[edit]The AfD Thuringia was founded on April 27, 2013 in Herrenhof. Since its founding, the state association has been controversial because right-wing extremists have actively held important positions since the beginning.[5][6] After the first chairman Matthias Wohlfarth,[7] Björn Höcke and Stefan Möller took over the association in 2014. Since then they have led the AfD Thuringia.
After a year-long review by the Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution from 2020, the AfD Thuringia was classified as right-wing extremist in 2021.[8]
At the 2024 constituent meeting of the 8th state parliament there was chaos and then a scandal due to the behavior of the AfD Father of the House Jürgen Treutler. The acting Interior Minister Georg Maier (SPD) then spoke out in favor of banning proceedings against the AfD.[9]
