Leaked emails indicate that Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), previously sought action against the Saxony-Anhalt state association and warned about Björn Höcke.

Leaked internal emails have surfaced, revealing that Alice Weidel, the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), had previously taken a critical stance against the party’s state association in Saxony-Anhalt. This revelation comes despite her current public appearances alongside Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD’s top candidate in Saxony-Anhalt. The emails reportedly show that Weidel had considered measures against the state association and expressed concerns about Björn Höcke, a prominent figure within the party.

The emails provide insight into Weidel’s earlier position within the party, highlighting her concerns about the direction and leadership of the Saxony-Anhalt state association. Ulrich Siegmund, who now frequently shares the stage with Weidel, was among the figures associated with the state association at the time. Additionally, Weidel’s warnings about Björn Höcke, a controversial and influential member of the AfD, suggest internal tensions and differing perspectives within the party leadership.

This development sheds light on the internal dynamics of the AfD and the evolving relationships between its leaders. While Weidel has since aligned herself publicly with Siegmund, the leaked emails underscore a period of discord and strategic disagreements. The timing and content of these emails may prompt further scrutiny of the party’s internal cohesion and leadership strategies.
