Is this the same AfD that got involved in several Russian spy scandals? It's an interesting coincidence their agenda and Russian interests always seem to line up.

It's the same AfD that has the same talking points as the Russia linked National Front in France. What a weird coincidence, right?

And the Dutch Forum for "Democracy".

No, it’s the same AfD that got involved in several Russian and Chinese spy scandals.

Yes, that's the same AfD. Also the same AfD that wants the forced deportation of millions of citizens from Germany.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

Yeah but not just connections to Russia. Also China.

There is also evidence that the AfD had Russian officials draft a strategy paper for them, which they used as a basis for writing their party program. They have a real kink for Daddy Putin.

That was my first thought.

It's the same AfD that is so far right that Marine Le Pen finds them to be too extreme
