The top candidate is no longer sustainable and the AfD is a danger for Germany: clear words from CSU General Secretary Martin Huber, who assumes that the party has a structural problem. “This is not an isolated case.”
Martin Huber, General Secretary of the CSU, has called for consequences in the espionage affair surrounding the AfD’s top candidate for the European elections, Maximilian Krah. “The point is that the AfD is being asked to withdraw its candidates. The AfD has to draw conclusions here,” said Huber in the ntv early start. “I think it’s also a big problem for the AfD, because we’ve seen in the whole debate for a long time that the AfD represents exactly those interests. It’s Moscow’s fifth column, it’s its extended arm from Putin, and in this respect it is completely clear that the AfD is a danger for Germany,” the CSU politician continued.
Seven weeks before the European elections, Krah came under massive pressure when an employee was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Huber is not surprised by these events. “Cash from China, rubles from Russia. This shows that the AfD does not represent German interests. And against this background, one no longer needs to be surprised that the AfD is making proposals that harm Germany. The AfD wants to get out of the euro . She wants out of the European Union. She wants out of NATO. All of this shows that these are proposals that are forgetful of history and destroy prosperity to the great detriment of Germany.
In his own words, Huber assumes that the AfD has a fundamental problem. “But my personal impression is that it’s not just about individual cases. I think the AfD has a structural problem here, because with the demands they’re making, I don’t think there are just a few.” Huber’s conclusion: “Krah has to go, he can no longer be worn.”
