Upcoming European voting events - European Parliament: AfD Top Candidate Jongen Joins Major Parliamentary Group
Based on estimates, the AfD ranks as the second most powerful political group in Germany for the European vote. They'll be categorized as a non-faction party due to their exclusion from the ID faction near the European elections. The reasons behind this decision include contentious remarks made by AfD's main candidate Maximilian Krah regarding the SS and a China spy case associated with one of Krah's aides.

The AfD, led by top candidate Marc Jongen, is planning to make a significant impact in the Stuttgart area during the upcoming European elections in Baden-Württemberg. Despite ranking as the second most powerful political group in Germany for the European vote, they will be classified as a non-faction party at the EU Parliament due to the exclusion from the ID faction. This decision is partly based on controversial remarks made by AfD's main candidate Maximilian Krah regarding the SS and a China spy case associated with one of Krah's aides.
Following this decision, the AfD will strive to secure a strong presence in the European Parliament, presenting a challenge to the established political groups. The results from the German Interior Ministry's Election Dashboard for the European Elections in 2019 suggest that the AfD gained significant support across Germany during these elections.
