Beatrix von Storch

Beatrix von Storch is a prominent member of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. She is newsworthy due to internal divisions within the AfD regarding foreign policy, particularly concerning the United States. Recent news highlights a disagreement between von Storch and AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla. Chrupalla has called for the withdrawal of US troops from Germany, a position that has exposed a split within the party, with greater support in the East and more criticism in the West. Von Storch has publicly criticized Chrupalla's demand. Furthermore, the AfD is grappling with its relationship to the MAGA movement in the US, with some members seeking closer ties while others, including potentially von Storch, advocate for distance. These internal tensions and differing strategic interests are shaping the AfD's current political course and relevance in German politics.
