AfD-Bundestagsfraktion

The AfD-Bundestagsfraktion (AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag) is currently holding a meeting in Cottbus to discuss its economic and tax policies. Recent news reports focus on their proposals, which include tax cuts and a return to nuclear energy. A leaked position paper also mentions the reactivation of the Nord Stream pipeline. However, internal disagreements are apparent, with some members avoiding discussion of contentious issues like mandatory military service, reportedly causing discontent. Furthermore, AfD defense expert Rüdiger Lucassen is facing pressure within the party after publicly criticizing Björn Höcke, suggesting a power struggle where the "Höcke camp" is gaining influence. This highlights internal divisions and the shifting dynamics within the AfD-Bundestagsfraktion, making their policy discussions and internal conflicts newsworthy.
