Dresden (dpa / sn) - The Saxon AfD wants to nominate its candidates for the state list for the federal election on September 26th at a two-day party congress at the weekend.
500 to 600 members are expected at the party conference in the Dresden trade fair.
The honorary chairman and parliamentary group leader Alexander Gauland has also announced his attendance.
It is generally assumed that the party chairman Tino Chrupalla, who comes from East Saxony, will top the list.
However, the state executive does not propose a list so that everyone can apply for a place.
According to reports, the state list should include 20 candidates.
A comprehensive hygiene concept applies to the party congress.
The party congress is explosive due to the fact that, according to dpa information in Saxony, as before in Thuringia, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified as a suspected case.
The “Bild” newspaper reported on this first on Monday.
The AfD wants to defend itself legally against it.

According to its own information, the party currently has 2,644 members in the Free State.
In the 2017 federal election, it became the strongest force there with 27.0 percent of the second vote, just ahead of the CDU.
In the state elections two years later, she lost the top spot again.
