Political career
Mieruch was a founding member of the AfD in North Rhine-Westphalia, the first spokesman for the district association for the Münster region, and since September 2013 a member of the state board of North Rhine-Westphalia, most recently deputy state spokesman until he left.
According to the daily newspaper Die Welt, Mieruch is a confidante of Marcus Pretzell , Frauke Petry's husband . Pretzell and Petry had previously announced their exit from the party and the AfD parliamentary groups in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia and the state parliament of Saxony and the Bundestag.
As early as 2014, he was one of the first within the young party to demand a clear demarcation from extreme positions. He was considered a decisive opponent of Christian Blex and drew a. a. also the initiative “Red Card for Höcke”.
After entering the 19th German Bundestag for the AfD in the 2017 federal election, he declared on October 4, 2017 that he did not want to belong to the future AfD parliamentary group. He justified this with the failure to delimit the party from the völkisch wing around the Thuringian AfD parliamentary group leader and country chief Björn Höcke . Mieruch saw in the party a "development that many in the party view with concern and of which they have been hoping for far too long that it will be reversible". He referred to members of the völkisch party wing, such as Stephan Brandner, who was only slightly inferior in the election as parliamentary manager . According to Mieruch, the formation of a parliamentary group would have been the last chance the bourgeois forces had to set clear boundaries and distance themselves from these circles. However, since the opposite happened and many of the supposedly commoners instead offered themselves to the wing for their own benefit, Mieruch resigned from the parliamentary group.
Despite multiple calls for resignation from the AfD, he retained his mandate and justified this with the fact that many AfD voters were relying on the party to part with Höcke and those around him. These voters would now be cheated and would then no longer have a vote in parliament.
Mieruch is a member of the German-Israeli Society Berlin-Brandenburg eV and a critic of the BDS movement.
