The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is holding its federal party congress this weekend, aiming to project an image of unity while electing a new federal executive board. However, a new report reveals a starkly different reality unfolding behind the scenes. Ten party officials have spoken anonymously of a ruthless struggle for positions, characterized by threats and political maneuvering. This internal power dynamic threatens to overshadow the party's public message of cohesion. The officials describe a cutthroat environment where loyalty is often secondary to ambition. The congress thus represents not just a leadership selection, but a revealing snapshot of the AfD’s internal struggles and the lengths its members will go to secure power. It raises questions about the party's stability and future direction.
