Markus Frohnmaier, the top candidate of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) for the Baden-Württlemberg state election, has criticized the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in an interview on SWR Aktuell's summer series. The interview, conducted by Stephanie Haiber, will be available online at www.ardmediathek.de after broadcast.
Frohnmaier accused the CDU of poorly representing Baden-Württlemberg on a European level regarding tariffs with the USA. He also criticized the CDU's stance on defense, expressing a desire to reintroduce conscription and stop supporting Ukraine.
The AfD, under Frohnmaier's leadership, has also proposed discussing tariffs with the Americans and wants public authorities to buy vehicles only from Baden-Württlemberg production. Moreover, they have stated their intention to fly to Russia to talk about Nord Stream.
It's worth noting that Frohnmaier has a diverse political background, having served as a press spokesperson, holding a Bundestag mandate, and studying. He has also faced personal challenges, such as a heart attack at 27 due to stress.
The interview was originally content from ots and is being broadcast on various SWR channels. Photos from the latest "SWR Aktuell summer interview" are available via ARD-Foto.de. Subscribers can receive updates from the interview through the "SWR connected" Newsletter.
