"Maximilian Krah Takes Helm of AfD for 2024 EU Election Campaign"

Maximilian Krah, an incumbent EU Parliament member, has been elected to lead the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's 2024 European Union election campaign. The AfD, which has seen a surge in popularity, aims to capitalize on discontent with the ruling coalition and a weakening economy. The party has already strengthened ties with other European far-right parties and expects to have as many as 20 parliamentarians in the European Parliament. The AfD's success has been particularly notable in East Germany, where it hopes to secure further victories in the upcoming elections.
