Two politicians from the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), Maximilian Krah and Matthias Helferich, have returned to the party's parliamentary group following a strong performance in the German general election. Krah had previously resigned over statements downplaying SS involvement during the Nazi era, while Helferich faced outrage for labeling himself the friendly face of the Nazis. Both politicians have since been welcomed back despite their controversial pasts, reflecting the evolving dynamics within the AfD as it seeks to solidify alliances with other far-right parties.
Maximilian Krah, who previously resigned over controversial remarks about the Nazi era, has been welcomed back into the AfD parliamentary group after the party's electoral success.
Matthias Helferich, after facing backlash for openly declaring himself the friendly face of the Nazis, has also been reinstated in the AfD following the party's strong showing in the elections.
The AfD's return of Krah and Helferich signals a shift in the party's stance, as they embrace their far-right affiliations and distance themselves from previous controversies.
Krah stated that his remarks have been misrepresented, alleging that truthful and nuanced statements are used against the party, reflecting the ongoing strife within the political landscape.
