AfD MEP Maximilian Krah has also referred to the Great Replacement in previous speeches, placing him in the crosshairs of Germany’s domestic regime and its spy apparatus. The German press has been in near hysteria about the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany’s (AfD) new top candidate for the European Parliament, Maximilian Krah.

Krah belongs to the ethnic-nationalist wing of the party, or at least that is how he has been portrayed by establishment media outlets. He also has a sceptical view of the European Union, saying during an interview with Junge Freiheit that today’s European Union is a ‘catastrophe for Germany and Europe.’ The interview was conducted shortly after he was elected as the lead candidate at a party congress on Saturday in Magdeburg.

‘We say quite clearly: The EU of today is a disaster for Germany and Europe in terms of its agenda and structure. But we also say: There must be a European policy, there must be institutional cooperation, and this must take place in a new federation of fatherlands,’ Krah told Junge Freiheit.

In an interview conducted yesterday with Deutschlandfunk, he stated that the EU is a bureaucratic monster. In the past, he has also referred to the EU as a vassal of the United States.

Krah’s past statements also show that the AfD is serious about topics such as the Great Replacement, specifically referring to the term in 2018 while describing then Chancellor Angela Merkel’s immigration policies.

In 2019, he gave a speech in which he referred to the ethnic Germans in comparison to the German state people, saying that they are not necessarily the same thing. According to the AfD politician, the German ethnic people are the true sovereign and within the meaning of the Basic Law and could even override this Basic Law and form a new constitution.

He also said, according to a 2018 article, that the current mass immigration is not a moral imperative to help the poor (and) persecuted. It is the implementation of the crazy idea of having to make Europe colourful and transform the European peoples into a mixed population. Except that the immigrants don’t stick to that idea; they do not want to be part of a degenerate, colourful diverse population, but come as colonizers.

Krah has said in the past that he rejects the term ‘conservative’ for himself and the AfD and instead describes the AfD’s affiliation as ‘right-wing.’

While Krah was selected to lead the AfD’s European Parliament list at the party’s conference in Magdeburg, his views have already put him in the crosshairs of Germany’s left-liberal establishment and the powerful Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

The head of the BfV, Thomas Haldenwang, said that the party’s conference confirms the BfV’s designation that the party is a ‘suspected threat’ to Germany’s constitution. He also said that the AfD’s moderate wing played hardly any role in the party’s conference and that the term Great Replacement was used four times by speakers and was promoting ‘right-extremist conspiracy theories.’

The German domestic intelligence agency is weaponized against the AfD and used to keep the party from the political process. The BfV is widely believed to be working toward a ban of the party, a measure complicated by the fact that the AfD is currently the second most popular party in the nation, with the most recent INSA poll placing the party at 23 percent.

During his Junge Freiheit interview this week, Krah responded to the BfV, saying: ‘The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is a political authority and acts in exactly that way. The aim here is to damage the competition right from the start. We will also advocate that this special German approach to government protection is looked at in Brussels and that the question finally be asked: Is this actually compatible with European values of democracy and the separation of powers?’

Asked what EU parliamentary faction the AfD will join, Krah said: ‘We already have a parliamentary group, we are part of the parliamentary group for Identity and Democracy. I was in Rome last week with Parliament President Lorenzo Fontana, the number two in Italy and one of Matteo Salvini’s closest friends,’ he said.

‘We immediately agreed that our joint work in Brussels, but also in Berlin, Rome, Paris, Vienna and so on, is getting better and better. Our voters trust us, and their numbers measure how we are doing. I hope for a strong result and the power to shape parliament and the parliamentary group that comes with it.’

In recent months, the AfD has enjoyed a popularity surge across the country, having had its first mayor elected at the beginning of July and its first district administrator in late June.
