Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - The AfD has come together again for a party congress under Corona conditions to draw up the list of applicants for the state election.
As they did five weeks ago, several hundred members gathered in an exhibition hall on Saturday.
On the weekend just before Christmas, around 400 party members were only able to occupy the first places on the list, so that the new meeting is now necessary.
At that time the party conference had to be interrupted because of a bomb threat.
The country's corona rules allow such election events even in the current lockdown.
Strict conditions apply, such as a mask requirement at the site.
According to a spokeswoman, the health department of the city of Magdeburg also made the requirement that medical masks must be worn.
In December, the members elected the parliamentary group leader in the Magdeburg state parliament, Oliver Kirchner, as the top candidate for the state election on June 6, 2021.
He had no opponent.
The places 2 to 4 were secured by Ulrich Siegmund, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider and Daniel Roi.
You have all been in the state parliament since 2016.
At that time, the AfD had won almost a quarter of all votes from a standstill and had become the second strongest force behind the CDU.
25 AfDler moved into the state parliament.
