Interior ministers from various federal states have expressed concerns regarding the AfD’s plans to replace numerous high-ranking officials should they gain power. With current polling indicating approximately 41% support for the AfD, the party’s leader, Ulrich Siegmund, aims to replace 150 to 200 positions across ministries and agencies. Ministers have called for urgent discussions on the risks posed by an AfD-led government to Germany’s security architecture, citing the party’s connections to authoritarian regimes and extremist organizations as significant threats.
