politics

Bessin has been a member of Alternative für Deutschland since April 2013. She is the district chairwoman of Teltow-Fläming and was initially an assessor of the Brandenburg State Board. Because of ideological problems with Birgit Bessin, numerous members such as Ralf Sebastian, a member of the district council who had left the CDU, resigned from the AfD. The cause were disputes over a declaration proposed by the district council candidate Oliver Scharfenberg and the bank, which every AfD member should sign, according to which they admit to the Basic Law that they have never been a member of an extremist organization or Stasi employee . This was rejected by the majority of the members, Bessin described the declaration as superfluous. In the local elections in Brandenburg in 2014 it was in the council voted Teltow-Fläming.

In the state elections in Brandenburg in 2014, she ran in the constituency of Teltow-Fläming I and moved into the state parliament via number 5 on the AfD state list . She was subsequently elected Parliamentary Managing Director of the parliamentary group. In March 2015, Bessin was one of the first signatories of the Erfurt resolution , from which the völkisch-nationalist group “ The Wing ” emerged within the party. She has been the deputy chairwoman since July 2016 and the first deputy chairwoman since April 2017 of the AfD regional association Brandenburg. During the 6th electoral term, Bessin was a full member of the Committee for Education, Youth and Sport (A5) and the Committee for Labor, Social Affairs, Health, Women and Family (A7) of the Brandenburg State Parliament.

Since the beginning of 2018, Bessin has repeatedly appeared as a speaker in the anti-refugee movement Zukunft Heimat . In March 2018, the AfD issued reporters a ban on questions. All journalists then left the room. Vice-parliamentary group leader Birgit Bessin added that it is hoped that the journalists will report "neutrally and impartially" on the AfD's issues next time.
