The AFD Bavaria is the Bavarian state association of the party Alternative for Germany (AFD). It is headed by the state chairwoman Corinna Miazga . In the state elections in 2018 , the state party entered the Bavarian state parliament for the first time as the fourth strongest party with 22 members . As of spring 2019, it has only 20 parliamentary group members after two MPs left the party and parliamentary group for political reasons. For the 2017 federal election , Martin Hebner headed the state list of the AfD Bavaria as the top candidate, through which 14 members entered the 19th German Bundestag .

Several members of the AfD Bavaria, including their former state chairman and member of the Bundestag Petr Bystron , were or are being observed by the Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution . They have connections with the Identitarian Movement and other right- wing organizations .

history

The Bavarian State Association of the AfD was founded on March 30, 2013 in Ebersberg . Before the 2013 federal election , several members of Michael Stürzenberger's Islamophobic Die Freiheit joined the AfD Bavaria. The former AfD state chairman André Wächter assumes that the party changers calculated a better chance for a good election result at the AfD. In the state elections in 2013 , the AfD Bavaria did not run. The focus was placed on the 2013 Bundestag election, in which 2.2% of the first and 4.3% of the second votes from Bavaria went to the AfD.

In the municipal elections in Bavaria in 2014 , the AfD made it into local parliaments wherever it stood. In the state capital Munich it achieved 2.5%, which led to André Wächter and Fritz Schmude (today both LKR ) joining the city council. The AfD won one mandate in Augsburg and Forchheim (Upper Franconia) and two mandates in Vaterstetten (together with the Free Citizens Union ). In the council Ebersberg two seats fell to the AFD.

After the split in 2015, state chairman André Wächter confessed to the group around Bernd Lucke and joined his party ALFA (Alliance for Progress and Awakening) . The Munich AfD city councilors André Wächter and Fritz Schmude founded the ALFA faction in the Munich city council . Wächter and Schmude justified their step with the radicalization of the AfD. Wächter told the Münchner Merkur that originally they wanted to found a "bourgeois alternative, above all to the CSU and the FDP " with the AfD .

This was preceded by internal disputes, in the course of which André Wächter retired from the state executive committee in July 2015. Petr Bystron was elected as the new state chairman at the party conference in Nuremberg in October 2015 . Almost 300 members with voting rights were present. Werner Meier, until then the state treasurer, was elected as the first deputy. He remained as the only member from the old state board under guard in the new board.

As part of the “autumn offensive” announced by the federal party leadership, AfD Bayern organized a demonstration in October 2015 in the southeast Bavarian border town of Freilassing with around 1,000 participants. "In terms of content, there were hardly any differences to Pegida, " wrote Endstation Rechts about the content of the event.

The regional association announced in January 2016 that almost 500 members had left the party in the summer of 2015 when it split into a national liberal and a national conservative wing. After that, there was a “massive influx of members”. In the fourth quarter of 2015, 500 people entered and another 300 were waiting to be admitted. 10% of the new members were previously members of the CSU, 5% are returning ex-members.

Several party members took the initiative in May 2017 against the list of the Bavarian AfD state chief Petr Bystron in fourth place on the state list for the 2017 federal election . You wanted to repeat the vote on it. However, a large majority voted at the AfD's list party conference not to deal with the application in the first place. At the 2017 election , the AfD received 10.5% of the first and 12.4% of the second votes across Bavaria. It is represented by 14 MPs, including no direct candidates.

In the state elections in 2018 , the AfD Bayern entered the state parliament for the first time with 10.2% and, according to the preliminary result, won 22 seats, none of which were directly won.

In the AfD regional association and in the AfD state parliamentary group there were internal power struggles from 2018 between the moderate national-conservative AfD part around the chairman of the AfD state parliamentary group Markus Plenk and the völkisch-nationalist around his co-chair Katrin Ebner-Steiner , who supported the Björn Höcke is close to the Thuringian state chairman and representative of the völkisch-nationalist " wing " . Markus Plenk announced on April 5, 2019 that he would resign from the parliamentary group and the party. Plenk cited the reason that he was "tired of being the bourgeois facade of an essentially xenophobic and extremist party". He could not support the personnel policy of his co-parliamentary group leader Ebner-Steiner; they employ people with a neo-Nazi past. Ebner-Steiner employed Laurens Nothdurft and Heinz Imbacher, both of whom are close to the right-wing extremist NPD. Several MPs wanted to persuade Katrin Ebner-Steiner to resign and agreed on their approach by e-mail. The emails were intercepted by an unknown person and leaked to Ebner-Steiner. This published the mail traffic and was indignant about the actions of her colleagues in an AfD-internal Facebook group with 500 members. Members of their own parliamentary group then filed charges against Katrin Ebner-Steiner in July 2019.

A special state party conference took place on July 21, 2019. Country chief Sichert admitted in his opening speech that the national association was at odds; he no longer wanted to see officials and members of parliament "fighting each other through the media and party forums". With a narrow majority, the members present decided not to pursue the early election of the state executive at the special party congress, but to re-elect the state party executive at another party congress in mid-September 2019. At this state party conference in Greding , Member of the Bundestag Corinna Miazga , who had campaigned for herself as chairwoman of the compensation (she was "not for or against the wing here"), prevailed in a runoff election against Katrin Ebner-Steiner, the parliamentary leader in the state parliament . The Bundestag member Hansjörg Müller and the Landtag members Gerd Mannes and Martin Böhm were elected as deputy chairmen . The two deputies Müller and Böhm are seen as representatives of the "wing". Previously, the Bavarian AfD had tried by means of an urgent application to the Ansbach administrative court to prohibit the participants of the local alliance "Greding ist bunt", which had called for protests, from "carrying devices that are suitable for taking photographs with them in an operational state" , and justified this with a "threat situation with regard to serious criminal offenses" against the delegates. The court rejected this application, pointing out that it had to be weighed against the “very high requirements” of the Federal Constitutional Court on freedom of assembly . The alliance itself announced that the AfD's request was “an outrageous mockery for anyone affected by inhumane violence”. Also with a view to the occupation of two important deputy positions by representatives of the "wing", Henry Stern commented in the Augsburger Allgemeine that the Bayern-AfD remains "a deeply divided party on the edge of democratic legitimacy".

politics

The central topic of the regional association is the refugee crisis . In autumn 2015 the AfD Bayern adopted a thesis paper on the subject of asylum . In it she demands u. a. "That persons who want to apply for asylum ... are to be stopped and rejected by the federal police instead of letting them enter the country in a regulated manner." The visa requirement for the countries of the Western Balkans ( Albania , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Macedonia , Montenegro and Serbia ) should be reintroduced. The review of the reason for fleeing and thus the right to asylum should take place in the "48-hour fast-track process"; In the long term, asylum applications should be made abroad.

In the course of the negotiations between Chancellor Angela Merkel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the EU refugee agreement with Turkey , Petr Bystron warned against any agreement on the refugee issue. In his view, there should be no planned visa exemption for Turkish citizens in the EU, nor should Turkey ever join the EU . “Europe ends on the Bosporus, ” he delimits Europe for the AfD.

A statement formulated by the AfD district association Munich Land on the occasion of the election of Benigna Munsis as the Nuremberg Christ Child that we will "one day be like the Indians" was published on the Internet by the AfD district association on October 31, 2019 and again after reactions away. The Bavarian Minister of the Interior Herrmann said: "Here we encounter the sardonic face of racism, which the AfD would always like to deny as its attitude of mind". There were other xenophobic comments in the party on the case, including from Reinhard Rupsch, IT editor of the AfD parliamentary group and member of AfD Münster, on Twitter and from AfD Marl in North Rhine-Westphalia on Facebook. The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder responded on Twitter: "We must not allow this agitation."

On the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the regional association posted on twitter that "not May 8, but Merkel's final withdrawal from politics will go down in history as the day of liberation." The regional association deleted the posting a short time later .

Politics in the state parliament

On January 23, 2019, 18 of 22 members of the AfD parliamentary group left the memorial service for Nazi victims in the state parliament after Charlotte Knobloch , the President of the Israelite Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria, questioned the party's loyalty to the constitution in her speech and accused the AfD of "To base their politics on hatred and exclusion". Co-parliamentary group leader Katrin Ebner-Steiner replied in a subsequent press release that Knobloch had “misused a commemorative event [...] to defame the entire AfD and the democratically legitimized parliamentary group by making ugly blanket allegations”, and described the behavior of the MPs as “appropriate Reaction". According to the SZ , by leaving the memorial event, the AfD had proven that it was “at least in solidarity” with the “historically forgotten”, happy to distribute it itself, but was completely incapable of criticism.

In March 2019, the AfD wanted to achieve a ban on minarets at mosques in the state parliament by means of a draft amendment to the Bavarian building regulations . According to the AfD MP Richard Graupner , minarets do not fit into the historically grown townscape and landscape and they are "an architectural expression of Islam's claim to rule ". They are also not compulsory at mosques, so a ban is not an impairment of the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion . This application was rejected in the state parliament and criticized by representatives of other parliamentary groups, including the argument that there are around 300 mosques in Bavaria and only six of them have minarets. There can therefore be no question of a threat to the open society . In addition, the approval for the construction of a minaret is the planning authority of the municipalities. There is no legal claim, as the AfD claims, but the individual case always counts. The FDP deputy Sebastian Körber , a trained architect himself, was also amazed at the term “building permit” in the AfD application. This formulation is not in use in Germany, but it is in use in Austria and Switzerland. He does not want to imply that the AfD “has written off another right-wing populist party”.

Classification within the AfD

The state association was repeatedly noticed by members with racist and right-wing extremist attitudes. The member of the Bavarian state board Thomas Fügner brought an application at the AfD federal party conference in 2015, which should define who can be considered German. German is only someone who " has proven his / her descent from an ancestor who was born before January 1, 1914 in the European territory of the German Reich (...) through complete (...) certificates of parentage ". The application was rejected by the delegates.

The Bavarian AfD regional association is now one of the right-wing regional associations within the party as a whole. In a study at the beginning of 2017, the political scientist Robert Philippsberg (Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich) demonstrated the party's function as a networking platform for the extreme right. On behalf of the Petra Kelly Foundation, which is close to the Greens, he examined the activities of the Bayern AfD on the basis of its public events and reporting.

Relationship to right-wing extremism

AfD Bayern prohibits advertising for other organizations at its own events. Nevertheless, some well-known right-wing extremists from other right-wing organizations took part in events organized by AfD Bayern . Uwe Brunke (organizer of the SS memorial in Bad Reichenhall ) and members of the Berchtesgadener Land Comradeship (formerly Free Network South , today partly Der III. Weg ) were present at the AfD demonstration in Freilassing . Supporters of the Identitarian Movement distributed leaflets with their logo masked off.

The Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution observed individuals in the AfD; However, the entire regional association is not being observed, said Burkhard Körner, head of the authorities, in 2016.

Of the 22 AfD members elected in the 2018 state elections , the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution observed some of them because of connections to the right-wing extremist, Islamophobic or Reich citizen scene. When asked by the taz , the office said it was examining whether the observation would be continued because of the “increased threshold for observation of elected officials”.

At the end of June 2016, state chairman Bystron and two right-wing extremists (Lukas B., formerly Dierechte , now Identitarian Movement , and Rick W. from the Alliance of German Patriots) tried in vain to gain access to an event organized by the anti-fascist information, documentation and archive office in Munich in the One World House , and then took them to a nearby beer garden. Corresponding reporting of Bavarian Radio about the incident denied Bystron. The BR published photographs that showed Bystron with the two right-wing extremists both before the event and in the beer garden.

The state chairman and today's MP Petr Bystron described the Identitarian Movement as a "great organization, a preliminary organization of the AfD". "The AfD must be a protective shield for the Identitarian Movement.", Quoted the President of the Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the AfD chairman. When Bystron was mentioned in the Bavarian Constitutional Protection Report in 2016, the AfD federal executive warned the Bavarian state chairman. The warning had no immediate consequences for him.

Die Zeit points out that internal communication by IB activists in Bavaria shows that Bystron has been perceived as a supporter since mid-2016. Bystron publicly welcomed the identities at a demonstration by his party in Geretsried in spring 2016. Bavarian AfD functionaries banned the IB Lambda flags at AfD demonstrations, but expressed their joy in writing when identities signed up as supporters, so to speak incognito. The former Nuremberg AfD Bundestag candidate Elena Roon wanted Adolf Hitler back. In response to public pressure, she resigned as chairman of the district association and renounced her candidacy for the Bundestag.

In response to a request, the Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution announced at the beginning of November 2018 that the state politicians Ralf Stadler , Uli Henkel and Andreas Winhart were being observed. At the end of December 2018, it was also announced that three Bavarian AfD district assembly politicians and four non-elected AfD district assembly candidates were being observed due to right-wing extremist statements or connections to the Identitarian Movement as well as positive references to the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS . The observation of the three members of the state parliament was stopped at the beginning of 2019. The reason for this is an “increased threshold” when observing elected officials. In response to a request from the Greens, the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior announced in June 2020 that two newly elected AfD district councilors and two newly elected AfD city councilors in Bavaria were being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The reason for this is that three of these people belong to the " Junge Alternative " or the " wing ", which has now officially been dissolved , and one person is in the sights of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution because of links to the Reich citizen scene.

organization

The organs of the state association are the state party congress and the state board. The regional arbitration tribunal decides on internal party disputes and can expel members.
