Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After much back and forth, the AfD in Baden-Württemberg is now organizing a party conference - as a face-to-face event in the middle of the pandemic.

The MPs want to meet on February 6th and 7th in the Stuttgart Exhibition Center, as a spokesman for state chief Alice Weidel confirmed on Wednesday.

The association then wants to draw up the state list for the federal election in September.

You can comply with all the prescribed hygiene rules, assures the spokesman for the Südwest-AfD, Markus Frohnmaier, the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten”.

So the seat neighbors should keep a distance of about two meters, Frohnmaier explained to the dpa.

800 people are expected.

In the past few months, the AfD regional association had already received a number of rejections when looking for a location for a party congress. At the beginning of December they wanted to meet in Göppingen, for example, but the hall operator had terminated the AfD's lease before the event.
