Betrayal? Espionage? Or just hubris? AfD parliamentary group deputy Markus Frohnmaier has now boasted to Sandra Maischberger (59) that he and his party are always fully informed about internal discussions within the Union, even at their closed meetings.
Background: Maischberger has allegations against them AfD citing that right-wing parties ask “the right questions about infrastructure” in the Bundestag and state parliaments – questions that, according to Maischberger, “could be used to pinpoint possible Russian aggressors on things like interfaces in police computers, stopping points in Thuringia for military convoys headed to Ukraine, or technology in drone defense systems.”
Maischberger told Frohnmaier directly: “If you ask questions like where the Federal Ministry of the Interior has important IT services or where is the Bundeswehr drone control station – what do you want with these questions?”
Darinmaier Deflection answer: They also ask such questions CDUwhich “became very unpopular”, but this contradicts this AfD is now “the strongest party in Germany”, and that is why “the CDU at their closed meeting: What can we do now to become even more popular? A psychologist gave him advice and it has continued ever since CDU with the stories circulating that the AfD basically…”
Maischberger interjected: “You must know that, with the psychologist?” – Frohnmaier: “Of course”. And then triumphantly too CDU-Vice president of the parliamentary group Norbert Röttgen: “We also have people in your group who reported what they did CDU do it at their retreat.”

That Cologne market researcher and psychologist Stephan Grünewald (65) worked as a strategy consultant in October CDU invited, but by then it was already in the media. But Frohnmaier accused: “I believe the whole thing is a strategy, since accusations of right-wing extremism are no longer possible, to discredit the AfD. That is wrong, Mr Röttgen!” Germany is “not at war with Russia” and Putin is not a threat.
Röttgen’s response: “I asked the opposition questions to determine: Is Ukraine receiving enough support? The difference is that with all the opportunities you have in parliament, you are doing what is your core mission in Germany: representing Russia’s interests. You are asking these questions because they are in Russia’s interests!”
Röttgen’s harshest accusation: Frohnmaier went there after the annexation of Crimea and declared “solidarity with the Russian conquest.” The deputy president of the parliamentary group was emphatic: “You congratulate the people of Crimea because they can now live under Russian rule. They attended an event organized by the Russian secret service. That’s how Frohnmaier was, for many years!”
The Röttgen then lights up again
