Legislative body debates and passes laws. - News: AfD candidate Krah joins election campaign despite previous exclusion
The AfD party's higher-ups took notice of it eventually. At first, the party leaders didn't say anything publicly about the matter, likely because it wasn't a significant happening.
"Bild" newspaper shared photos featuring the 47-year-old Saxon wearing a blue jacket with the AfD logo, clutching a coffee mug and a cigarette while standing beside a few folks and an AfD umbrella. The exact time when these pics were captured remains unclear.
Before May 22nd, Krah was forbidden from campaigning due to his controversial remarks about the SS. He had been facing scrutiny as well due to an espionage case involving a staff member and his connections with Russia and China.
Krah had previously consented to avoid public appearances. According to "Bild", Krah said, "Putting up posters for the local group in the absence of the media isn't a campaign engagement. It's just basic work."

The EU expressed concern over the AfD's extremist tendencies, urging Germany to take action against the party's controversial candidates. Despite the controversy surrounding Maximilian Krah and his previous exclusion, the EU election campaign in Germany continued with his involvement in Saxony. Despite a performance ban due to his controversial remarks and espionage case, Krah was seen campaigning in Dresden, causing stir in the political circles of Berlin. This action was heavily criticized by various parties in Europe, calling for stricter measures against extremism in parliamentary elections. The Parliament in Berlin is currently debating whether to impose a complete ban on Krah's campaigning ahead of the EU election.
