According to Spiegel, the AfD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wants to take power in the state election in September. A new general secretary is meant to pave the way. The party conference dealt with so-called beer evenings and the influence of radicals within the party.
Delegates elected Dario Seifert as the new general secretary. He is to prepare the party organizationally for the election campaign and hold the internal wings together. The AfD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is considered particularly radical; the Office for the Protection of the Constitution monitors the state association as a confirmed right-wing extremist endeavor.
