Troubles in the AfD? The co-leader of the AfD, Tino Chrupalla, published a remarkable video. In it he also blamed ICE-deportations for the midterms loss. He then promoted a color-blind anti-nativist message, basically endorsing the Zoomer protests and inviting all people, regardless of their migration background to the party. In the same breath, he again distanced himself from any migration messages that could “split” his desired multiethnic voter coalition. The next day a possibly coordinated move, Maximilian Krah came forward, attacking “remigration maximalism.” He says that remigration is unconstitutional and should be dropped by the party. In his view, any mass deportation of foreigners is utopian, and the AfD would deport only about 200,000 people. and it should win over migrant votes. Everything else would be dangerous radicalism in his views. It is a pattern: Maximilian Krah and Tino Chrupalla are trying to win over muslim migrant parallel societies as voters, with a color-blind message of economic populism and geopolitcs. This goes against the trend. Ulrich Siegmund won in Saxony-Anhalt with an explicit message of national sovereignty and remigration. The AfD youth is behind the idea, and more and more politicians in the West are opening up to the concept. My suspicion is that the anti-remigration wing of the AfD, consisting of people like Chrupalla and Krah, is getting nervous because of the growing popularity of the concept and of rising Remigration-Stars like Siegmund. Their position was always, that the AfD could "NEVER get over 15%, then 20%, then 30%" with the message of remigration and without clearly distancing itself from activists like me. Apparently, they were wrong. The whole strategy was based on fear-mongering, and since neither a drop in the polls nor an AfD ban has materialized, they’re running out of arguments. In any case, they are still able to create communication chaos on the German right, and of course people like Krah are favorite talk-show guests of the mainstream media. Interesting developments we will closely watch and report on. PS: Weidel, at the same time, posted several times promoting remigration that day.
