The AFD Hamburg is the national association of the party Alternative for Germany in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . The regional association is led by Dirk Nockemann as regional chairman. With Jörn Kruse as the top candidate, the regional association immediately made it into the Hamburg citizenship in the 2015 election . In the 2017 federal election , the regional association ran with Bernd Baumann as the top candidate and moved with him as a member of the German Bundestag .

history

The regional association was at a party congress on 6./7. Founded April 2013. Jörn Kruse was elected regional chairman , Günther Siegert and Kay Gottschalk were elected as deputies, and Erich Marquart was elected treasurer . As a result, some former members of the parties Die Freiheit and the Rule of Law Party (Schill Party) joined the regional association, so that in the next regional board elections u. a. the former member of the Schill party and former interior senator Dirk Nockemann was elected deputy chairman. In addition, Bernd Baumann was elected as the third deputy and the board was expanded from seven to nine members. In February 2014, the previous assessor Barbara Krüger-Sauermann was elected as the successor to Kay Gottschalk as deputy chairwoman. The position of treasurer was also filled.

On May 25, 2014, the state party moved to the elections for the district assemblies for the first time in all seven assemblies with a total of 17 members. In the districts of Harburg , Hamburg-Mitte and Wandsbek , parliamentary groups were formed with three drafted MPs each; in the remaining two MPs each received group status.

At the beginning of October 2014, the list of candidates for the general election was drawn up at a party congress. Nockemann was elected to third place on the list and three other former members of the Schill party were also elected to the list. As a result, in addition to Krüger-Sauermann, another three board members resigned from their offices because of their view of excessive personal overlaps with the Schill party. They accused chairman Kruse of having enabled and supported the election of these members. This in turn replied that their resignation was related to the result of the elected list of candidates. In November 2014, the four vacant positions on the board were re-elected and the citizenship election program was decided.

In the citizenship election 2015 , the state party received 6.1% of the vote, so that eight members on the list were elected to the citizenship. According to the North Statistics Office, the AfD received over five percent of the constituency votes in 14 constituencies and became the fourth-strongest party in five constituencies (constituencies 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 and 17 ). It received the highest share of the vote in constituency 17 with 9.3 percent, the lowest in constituency 3 with 2.8 percent.

From July 2015, in the course of a power struggle in the party as a whole, there was also an increasing number of party resignations and resignations in the state party and in the district associations, including Kruse resigned from his post as state chairman, but remained until his successor Bernd Baumann was elected in October 2015 provisionally in office. He prevailed in a runoff election with 68 to 49 votes against the former deputy Kay Gottschalk. Alexander Wolf , Joachim Körner and Julian Flak were elected as deputies, and Nicole Jordan as treasurer . Furthermore, Kruse remained chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in the citizenry. Kruse was warned by the state executive in May 2016 after it publicly criticized the previously adopted basic program. In addition, a dual leadership made up of Kruse and Baumann was formed in the parliamentary group.

On March 26, 2017, the Hamburg regional association elected state and co-parliamentary group chairman Bernd Baumann with 51.6% of the votes as the top candidate and first place on the list for the 2017 federal election . In the district assembly elections held at the same time as the European elections on May 26, 2019, the AfD gained 6.3% across Hamburg, an increase of 1.8 percentage points compared to 2014. It thus achieved parliamentary group status in five of the seven administrative districts. Only in Altona and Hamburg-Nord did she miss this with only two of the 51 MPs each. After the controversy over the identity of the Hamburger SV football professional , Bakery Jatta , the Hamburg AfD claimed that this case was "for the insanity in asylum policy".

politics

Party platform

For the Hamburg state election in 2015, the party called for more performance orientation in schools and an increased teaching of values ​​in school lessons. In family policy, she advocates mandatory preventive medical checkups. It is striving for increased internal security by increasing the number of police. She calls for a much tougher crackdown on political extremism, especially on the left. The party opposes “uncontrolled immigration” and wants to prevent “immigration into the social systems”. In the area of ​​transport policy, the AfD speaks out against the bus acceleration program and in favor of expanding the cycle path network. She advocates deepening the Elbe .

AfD in the citizenry

In the first meeting of the Hamburg citizenship on March 2, 2015, the AfD candidate Detlef Ehlebracht was not elected vice president. However, in the run-up to the meeting, all parties had agreed that each parliamentary group should provide a vice-president. On March 25, 2015, he was ultimately elected Vice-President of the City Council in the second ballot. In the election to other committees, no AfD members were elected. In the case of the hardship commission , five different members were not elected eleven times by the members of the Hamburg Parliament until the parliamentary group brought an action against the Hamburg citizenship before the Hamburg Constitutional Court. This was rejected on the grounds that the Constitutional Court was not competent, as the appointment of the commission was not based on constitutional law, but based on simple state law - the hardship law. Thus, under constitutional law, the Commission is not a parliamentary body like, for example, the specialist committees to which the constitutionally enshrined right to equal treatment applies.

After the riots in the context of the G20 summit in Hamburg 2017 , the parliamentary group in the special committee of the citizens requested a site visit to the Rote Flora about the riots at the G20 summit , which was rejected by the majority of the other parliamentary groups.

organization

The party organs of the state association are the state party congress, the state executive committee and the state election assembly. The regional arbitration tribunal decides on internal party disputes and can expel members. The regional office is located in Hamburg-Mitte .

State party conference

The highest party organ is the state party congress . It elects the state board , the auditors and the state arbitration court. The state party congress takes place as a general assembly. From 1,500 members, the state party conference can take place as an assembly of delegates by decision of the state executive committee. To this end, the district associations send a delegate for each five members. The number of members for a delegate increases so that the total number of delegates does not exceed the maximum of 400 delegates.
