Markus Frohnmaier

Markus Frohnmaier is the foreign policy spokesperson for the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in the German Bundestag. He is newsworthy due to the AfD's recent engagement with representatives of the American "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. Despite internal divisions within the AfD regarding the extent of alignment with MAGA and disagreements on foreign policy issues like the Iran nuclear deal, Frohnmaier and the AfD are actively building relationships with conservative and nationalist groups internationally. This is exemplified by their recent meeting with Stefano Forte, President of the New York Young Republican Club, in Berlin. Frohnmaier has also publicly stated the AfD's support for a nationalist revival in Europe, responding to claims of "civilizational erasure." His role highlights the AfD's efforts to forge international alliances and promote its nationalist agenda.
