Neo-Nazi messages, links to Moscow, and Alice Weidel’s hypocrisy. 13 years of AfD emails have leaked

A massive leak of over 400,000 emails from the far-right AfD party has surfaced, revealing internal communications and strategic plans. The data, published by hackers, includes sensitive documents such as meeting minutes and donor lists. While the authenticity of all emails is still under scrutiny, the AfD has acknowledged the breach. Insights from the emails indicate the party's approach to voter outreach and its perception of rival parties. Notably, co-chair Alice Weidel's private views appear less extreme than her public persona. The correspondence also highlights connections with the US conservative movement and deeper ties with Russia, raising concerns about the party's future, including discussions of a potential ban.
