Politics and positions

Heßenkemper joined the AfD in 2014. He also justified his entry with the fact that Thilo Sarrazin would be "killed" by the media because of his theses. According to Die Zeit, he is now fighting against the “ideologized media”. He advocates terminating the state broadcasting agreements.

Heßenkemper is a member of the Central Saxony district council . He ran for a Bundestag mandate on the state list at number 6 of the AfD Saxony 2017 and moved into the 19th Bundestag . As his "enemy image" he named the "left fascist", "political-media class" made up of politicians, media, entrepreneurs and trade unions. He sees immigration as an attempt to “re- population ” in order to win left-wing voters and “destroy Germany as a civilization.” He advocates a policy based on the Australian model . Heßenkemper turns "against the plundering and extermination of Germany". His goal for the legislative period is "building a comprehensive culture of repatriation and restructuring the financial and tax situation". Research and economic policy should be made less bureaucratic and SMEs should be given incentives for research and development. In transport policy, public transport and the railways should be promoted more strongly, but electromobility less. Heßenkemper sees the cause of domestic political problems as the “political and media-sponsored population policy” that he wants to combat and to strengthen the police.

Heßenkemper is a full member of the Committee for Economic Affairs and Energy in the 19th German Bundestag . He is also a deputy member of the Committee on the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety , and the Committee on Education, Research and Technology Assessment .

After the federal election, the weekly newspaper Die Zeit characterized Heßenkemper as “ ultra-right ” within the AfD. In October 2017, he took part in the Pegida demonstration to mark the three-year existence of the xenophobic movement, after he had already spoken out in favor of working with Pegida at the beginning of the year. In his home constituency at the beginning of 2018 he called on local politicians to “resist the refugee policy of the federal government, which is at the expense of German taxpayers and social systems”.

From June 2018 to at least February 2019, Heßenkemper was unable to perform his duties as a member of the Bundestag due to complications after an accident. He is now on the mend after a serious accident, a stroke and a heart operation.
