Exploring the Relationship: "Kingdom of Germany" and AfD - A Closer Look
Investigation into Potential Link: Germany's "Kingdom of Germany" and Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party?
How tightly tied are the "Reichsbürger" collective, especially the "Kingdom of Germany," and the AfD? Taking a closer look, we find some intriguing links.
By Chris K. (For the sake of clarity, let's introduce a simpler, more conversational tone here.)
Magdeburg - The domestic intelligence agency in Saxony-Anhalt has investigated potential ties between Peter Fitzek (59) and the "Kingdom of Germany" group, as well as the AfD in the region.
As per a letter from the Interior Ministry to the state parliament, there is no evidence that Fitzek, the leader of "Kingdom of Germany," holds any affinity for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt.
The German Federal Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt (55, CSU), issued a ban on the "Kingdom of Germany" association in May, labeling it the largest Reichsbürger group and self-governing advocates.
In the past, Fitzek was arrested in relation to this group, which he founded in Wittenberg back in 2012, as detailed by security authorities.
Voigt Warns of Growing Right-Wing Extremism and Anti-SemitismThe Federal Ministry of the Interior recognizes the "Kingdom of Germany" as a "counter-state" purporting to be under monarchical-absolutist leadership by Fitzek.
However, the state government acknowledges that Fitzek harbors sympathies for the right-wing extremist party "Free Saxony" according to a letter from the Interior Ministry. He has published several videos expressing his support for the party and its main figurehead, Martin Kohlmann.

- As the authorities continue to monitor right-wing extremist groups like Free Saxony and the Kingdom of Germany, keeping track of war-and-conflicts, politics, and crime-and-justice news can provide valuable insights into the activities and ideologies of these extremist organizations.
