AfD's Saxony-Anhalt MPs Under Scrutiny for Extremist Backgrounds
After winning Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD elected 39 MPs, but media revelations spotlight several candidates with questionable backgrounds, including a 78-year-old ex-Stasi officer, a former pornography actor with a falsified leaving certificate, and at least two MPs under investigation for ties to the neopagan and neo-Nazi Artgemeinschaft; other reports note pro-Kremlin links and past involvement with far-right networks, while investigations continue and protests are planned ahead of other state elections.
