AfD removes Maximilian Krah from Federal Executive Board
Controversial figure steps down ahead of European elections
Just over two weeks before the European elections, the AfD has removed its controversial Spitzenkandidat Maximilian Krah from the Federal Executive Board. The move comes amid allegations of extremism and anti-Semitism against Krah.
Krah has been a divisive figure within the AfD, with some members calling for his expulsion from the party. He has been accused of making racist and anti-Semitic remarks, and of having ties to far-right extremist groups.
The AfD's decision to remove Krah from the Federal Executive Board is a significant blow to his campaign for the European Parliament. Krah was seen as one of the party's most prominent figures, and his removal could damage the AfD's chances of winning seats in the European Parliament.
The AfD is currently polling at around 10% in the European elections, and is expected to win a number of seats in the European Parliament. However, the party's chances of forming a significant bloc in the European Parliament will be reduced if Krah is unable to stand as a candidate.
