politics

In September 2016 Moosdorf joined the party Alternative for Germany . Within the party, he was initially considered a close confidante of the party chairwoman Frauke Petry and her husband Marcus Pretzell , at whose wedding celebration he participated in December 2016. He wrote texts for Petry's blog “Der Blaue Kanal” and acted as an advisor to the AfD parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament. In March 2017, the music critic Arno Lücker reported critically in the Neue Musikzeitung's music blog about Moosdorf's political commitment and statements that Lücker characterized as right-wing populist . After a falling out with Petry and Pretzell, Moosdorf turned to the right wing of the party.

Together with Michael Klonovsky , he campaigned for the establishment of a party-affiliated foundation of the AfD under the name " Gustav Stresemann Foundation ". Moosdorf has been a research assistant to the Bavarian AfD member of the Bundestag Martin Hebner since around January 2018 . He was one of the first to sign the 2018 Joint Declaration against “illegal mass immigration”. In August 2018, in a blog comment, he accused the former pastor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig , Christian Wolff , of having “brought with him from the unspeakable pulpit” that now “[every day” doctors “early in her Consultation hours [...] by migrants murdered ”and girls“ raped and killed ”. A criminal complaint by Wolff against Moosdorf for defamation was not pursued by the Leipzig public prosecutor. According to reports from the editorial network Germany and the time in November 2018, Moosdorf was the main person responsible for the AfD campaign against the UN migration pact .
