AfD Leaders Investigating Alleged Pro-Russia Links

Senior officials of the Alternative for Germany party are planning to question two lawmakers from the far-right party regarding their alleged involvement in a Europe-wide, pro-Russia disinformation network. The AfD leadership intends to engage with Maximilian Krah, the party’s lead candidate for the upcoming EU Parliament elections, and Petr Bystron, a lawmaker in the lower house of parliament in Berlin, after the Easter break. The investigation comes in response to allegations of financial flows from Russia. The party is taking these claims seriously and aims to address the issue directly. This move highlights the sensitivity surrounding potential foreign influence in European politics and seeks to bring clarity to the situation.
