Brussels elites are conflating a police investigation into a suspected Chinese spy with evidence-free allegations about conservative MEPs taking Russian money—just weeks before the European elections.
Irme Stetter-Karp, President of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), stated that she did not believe that members of the AfD and their values were compatible with Christianity.
EPP boss Manfred Weber is bothered by AfD’s right turn as parliamentary calculus draws conservatives and more moderate populists together in the European Parliament.
The AfD looks set to embrace a more overt anti-NATO stance in Brussels as factions around Björn Höcke secured the selection of numerous anti-war candidates for the European elections on the second day of the party’s annual congress.
Krah is alleged to have helped rig a tendering process in favour of a company to which he has links, fanning the flames of a worsening internal spat within the AfD’s Brussels contingent.
Sources close to the situation have indicated that files have been brought to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and Krah’s immunity is likely to be lifted on the basis of the original investigation by the EU anti-fraud agency OLAF.
