Riesenzoff at the AfD party conference in Riesa!
Reason: Most delegates are dissatisfied with the work of party leader Tino Chrupalla (47)! Only very narrowly (53.45 percent of the vote) was he confirmed as a “federal spokesperson”.
This is how the party congress wobbled Tino Chrupalla!
Accusation I: Chrupalla is to blame for the loss of limbs!
Several delegates had the party leader sweating on the podium on Friday (June 17) and Saturday, wanting to know: Why are members leaving us and what do you have to do with it? The fact is, since Chrupalla took office in 2019, the party has lost 5,000 members.
One delegate grumbled: “Members resigned because there is no more transparency and clear language in this party. Because they were completely dissatisfied with the political and programmatic leadership of this party for the past two years.”
► And Chrupalla? He apologized, citing “unpaid contributions” as the main reason for the decline in membership. But the numbers show: since November alone, a total of 9,893 members have left the AfD (and 5,536 new members) – only about 2,653 of them because of unpaid contributions.
Indictment II: Chrupalla is to blame for electoral applause
The AfD lost nine straight state elections and the federal election, and in Schleswig-Holstein it was even expelled from the state parliament. A delegate wants to know what responsibility he has for this.
Answer: Corona is to blame. “We were almost stuck for two years due to the Corona measures.”
Thus, it was hardly possible to visit district associations, recruit and retain members. That in-person meetings were possible again for months without restrictions? I didn’t mention Chrupalla.
Accusation III: Chrupalla leads badly
Chrupalla has a reputation for being disorganized and idle. Another delegate broke the collar, he wanted to know: What motions did you bring to the national board? Chrupalla’s response: He tried to give the party’s rules of procedure: “Every sports club has one, we don’t!” Embarrassing for party leader: A board member reacted promptly, went to the podium and said: “We would like to have rules of procedure. Then we could have voted too.” Chrupalla: speechless on the open stage.
