A Fresh Look: AfD's New Boss in Berlin Unveiled
- Berlin's AfD party re-elects its party leader again
Hey there! Here's some juicy news for you politics buffs out there. Berlin's controversial AfD (Alternative for Germany) is shaking things up today (on Sunday at 10:00 AM) with a party congress in the quaint town of Jüterbog, south of Berlin. The current chairperson, Kristin Brinker, is vying for another term in this power tussle. It seems she's the only contestant in the race.
Brinker, who has held the reins since 2021, has also led the AfD faction in Berlin's state parliament, making it the tiniest faction in the state legislature with a mere 16 members. She was the top choice for her party in the 2021 and 2023 state elections.
The Berlin AfD has chosen Jüterbog (a district in Brandenburg) as its home for the second time due to limited suitable venues in the capital city. The party gathered there last year to elect its candidates for the federal election. As before, counter-protests are anticipated in Jüterbog. Last year, several hundred folks took to the streets of the city, approximately 60 kilometers south of Berlin, to voice their opposition to the AfD party.
