Delegates at the "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) congress, taking place in Erfurt, have reelected Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as party leaders. They will retain their positions for the next two years. Before the vote, delegates also rejected a proposal to abandon the current model of collective leadership and elect a single party chair. Weidel received support from **81.3%** of congress participants, slightly improving her result compared to previous elections. Chrupalla was reelected with **70%** of the votes, whereas two years ago he was supported by 83% of delegates. Speaking to the congress participants, Chrupalla stated that the main goal of the AfD is to come to power first in one of the federal states and then at the federal level. He also dismissed rumors of disagreements within the party leadership, emphasizing that the party is now "more united than ever." In her speech, Weidel called the current year the year of "super elections" and sharply criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. One of the key points of her address was the topic of migration policy. According to Weidel, if the AfD comes to power, it intends to actively engage in the deportation of illegal migrants. The congress is taking place against the backdrop of one of the largest protests against the AfD in recent times. According to police, around 31,000 demonstrators gathered in Erfurt on Saturday to oppose the party's policies. Despite attempts by protesters to block access to the event venue, delegates arrived at the congress before the main protests began. Commenting on this, Chrupalla ironically stated that the party's opponents failed to disrupt the event. To ensure security, several thousand police officers from various regions of Germany were deployed in Erfurt. The reelection of Weidel and Chrupalla means that the AfD will maintain its previous leadership during a period when the party continues to strengthen its position in nationwide opinion polls and prepares for new electoral campaigns.
