Because his assistant is in custody for suspected spying for China, Maximilian Krah is unlikely to appear in public until the European elections. The AfD leadership may have very deliberately left him two advertising platforms.
As soon as the meeting with the party leaders is over, Maximilian Krah heads outside, onto the street next to the Bundestag, to bring his version of history to the German people. He says that a crime has apparently been committed in his MP’s office, and in this “ultimately very unpleasant matter” he himself has the “greatest interest in clearing it up.” But he doesn’t have to accuse himself of any wrongdoing, and that’s why he remains the AfD’s top candidate for the European elections, he tells the television cameras.
