Alice Weidel triumphs in BA-WÜ: Tensions after AfD election!

Alice Weidel has been elected as the top candidate of the Baden-Württemberg AfD state association for the Bundestag election 2025. At a meeting on Saturday in Ulm, it received almost 87 percent of the votes of a total of 877 votes. Her co-state chairman Markus Frohnmaier reached 82 percent and secured second place on the state list. Numerous supporters of Weidel also received promising list places, while a total of 25 places are to be awarded by Sunday. Weidel, who has already been as a candidate for chancellor for her party, has not yet been officially nominated.

Weidel's choice led to tensions within the party. Her critic Dirk Spaniel announced that he left the AfD after your election by pointing out on internal conflicts and the "mess" that he no longer wants to tolerate. In the meantime, around 2,000 people demonstrated against the AfD meeting in Ulm. The alliance for democracy and diversity organized the protests. The AfD is still observed by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a right -wing extremist suspicion, with certain national associations that are classified as proven right -wing extremist.
