    Disciplinary Proceedings Initiated Against AfD Candidate for Campaigning During Sick Leave

    Uwe Arendt, an AfD candidate for district administrator in Saxony-Anhalt, faces disciplinary action for allegedly campaigning while on sick leave following a back surgery.

    Reports indicate that Arendt, a police officer, participated in campaign events despite being on medical leave for several months. He has publicly denied the allegations, attributing his absence from duty to a serious health condition and subsequent rehabilitation. The disciplinary procedure, confirmed by security sources, is initiated when there are suspicions of violations of civil service obligations. The election for the district administrator is scheduled for June 7, and Arendt has stated his intention to continue his candidacy.
