Trendsetter from Poland. [113]
Oooh yeaaaah....its about time....
Proximity to Russia is becoming a problem
....For weeks, the party has seemed unable to find a clear, strategic position on Russia . The MAGA-Trump faction around Weidel, in particular, views the pro-Russian rhetoric of Chrupalla and others as an increasing threat to the party.....

My summary:
There are two factions fighting it out right now inside the AfD....one is called the "MAGA-faction"...with its most prominent head being Weidel, and the so called "Putin-faction", seemingly spoken for by Chrupalla (both together lead the AfD...or maybe soon "did").
The one likes to travel and meet up with Trump and Co.....the other likes to travel and meet up with Putin and Co...they come around, but at home the differences are mounting and pushes come to shove, decisions have to be made...not at least to make clear who in this leadership actually wears the trousers!
It shouldn't be a surprise that Putin-faction-leader Chrupalla describes Poland in the year 2025 as a possible danger...it's what Putin would like to hear...
...The dispute within the party escalated after it became public that an AfD delegation planned to travel to the Russian ski resort of Sochi for a support meeting of the so-called BRICS countries . ....
I guess the outcome of this power struggle will become decisive for the future of the party....
