Kevin Dorow

Kevin Dorow is a youth functionary within the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), a right-wing political party in Germany. He has recently become newsworthy due to accusations of having proximity to National Socialism. These accusations stem from Dorow's use of language and concepts that allegedly echo Nazi ideology, including differentiating between "Passdeutschen" (passport Germans) and "Volksdeutschen" (ethnic Germans), employing a slogan also used by the Hitler Youth, and praising the remigration concept of Austrian right-wing extremist Martin Sellner. Initially, the AfD leadership filed a motion to expel Dorow from the party, deeming him "untenable." However, following a wave of protests, the party leadership retracted the expulsion request. The situation is significant because it highlights internal tensions within the AfD regarding acceptable rhetoric and the extent to which the party is willing to tolerate individuals accused of Nazi sympathies.
