AfD-Fraktion

The AfD-Fraktion (Alternative für Deutschland faction) is a parliamentary group within the German Bundestag and state parliaments. Recent news highlights their activities and controversies. They hosted US Republicans in the Bundestag, describing them as "natural friends." This suggests an effort to build international alliances. Simultaneously, the Bildungsministerium (Ministry of Education) in Brandenburg banned the AfD-Fraktion from participating in a Praktikumstag (career day) for students. This indicates concerns about their potential influence on young people and possibly reflects broader societal reservations about the party's ideology. The AfD-Fraktion's involvement in national debates, such as the one on violence against women, and their interactions with international political figures, contribute to their ongoing relevance in German politics.
