In a communication to members, AfD state chairman Martin Vincentz and treasurer Christian Blex revealed plans to acquire a hall costing approximately three million euros. The party aims to raise one million euros through donations, with additional funding sourced from party equity and a loan from the federal party. This initiative arises from challenges in securing venues for mandatory party meetings, as many hall operators have declined to host AfD events. Previously, the party utilized a facility in Marl for its gatherings, and the acquisition is viewed as a financially prudent long-term investment.
