AdG accused of ties to Russian intelligence

According to reports, members of parliament from the AfD party have submitted thousands of questions related to security since 2020, raising concerns that Russian intelligence could gather confidential information about weapons supply routes and defense systems. The allegations, which first appeared in the media (Politico, Spiegel, Handelsblatt, etc.) in autumn 2025, regained relevance following the party's growing popularity. The party rejects the accusations as politically motivated, claiming it represents the interests of millions of Germans tired of current policies. In an AfD statement, it says the facts speak for themselves and that the allegations are an attempt to stigmatize and persecute the political right.
