Party gathering of the Alternative for Germany (AfD)

The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a political party based in Germany, is facing a legal challenge from party member Princess Doris von Sayn-Wittgenstein. On May 5, 2024, a civil chamber of the Stuttgart Regional Court will hear a lawsuit filed by von Sayn-Wittgenstein, questioning the validity of the state board election that took place during the party congress held in Rottweil on February 24, 2024.

Von Sayn-Wittgenstein, a party member and a controversial figure within the AfD who is currently undergoing an expulsion procedure, argues that the congress was not conducted in an orderly manner. The congress was marked by chaotic scenes, including tumultuous events in the city hall and a "sheep rush" where those not entitled to vote had to be sorted out.

The co-chairman of the AfD, Markus Frohnmaier, has rejected the allegations and looks forward to the legal dispute. The civil chamber, a part of the Stuttgart Regional Court that deals with civil law disputes, will aim to clarify the facts and the dispute at the meeting.

In a separate development, the Staatsanzeiger, a German news platform, offers options for sharing articles on various social media platforms, including email, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Xing, and LinkedIn. Subscription to the Staatsanzeiger grants access to the feature of saving articles by subscribing to topics. Account preferences can be managed on the platform, and a subscription service is available for users. The platform also offers a service for subscribers to manage their account preferences.

However, the search results did not return any information pertaining to the current legal dispute over the AfD party congress in Rottweil, Germany, or allegations of chaos and irregularities related to that event. Therefore, there is no verifiable update on this issue from the provided sources. If you require the latest details, I recommend consulting trusted German news outlets or official court statements for verified updates.
