In Germany, departing AfD state legislators issued extraordinary warnings about the party’s internal culture. One outgoing member of a state parliament described “sect-like conditions” and wrote of “Goebbels methods” and factions behaving as “communities of plunder.” The insider cautioned that chaos would follow if the party were to come to power, describing internal “purges like in totalitarianism.” The revelations are likely to fuel the ongoing debate in Germany about the far-right party’s fitness for governance.
