It is a demand that is part of the party's German foolishness, like the Amen in the church and, accordingly, is to be found prominently in the election manifesto.

AfD boss Tino Chrupalla, in an interview with a child reporter for the news program logo, demands that more German folk songs and German poems should be learned again in schools.

“That we also pay more tribute to our German poets and thinkers in schools,” the 46-year-old Oberlausitzer added. 

Then he is exposed by his interlocutor Alexander.

When asked what the top politician of the right-wing populist alternative's favorite poem is for Germany, the latter has no answer.

"I would have to think about it now, I can't think of anything," Chrupalla admitted - and thus made it clear that his demand has apparently not yet really reached him.

After all, he was later able to name his favorite German poet: Heinrich Heine.

The full length of the contribution for the children's television logo produced by ZDF can also be found in the ZDF media library.

Inquiries about Chrupalla's knowledge of German cultural assets start at 1:25 minutes.

In the run-up to the general election, child reporters questioned all of the parties' top politicians.

These contributions with Armin Laschet (CDU), Markus Söder (CSU), Olaf Scholz (SPD), Annalena Baerbock (Greens), Christian Lindner (FDP) and Janine Wissler (left) can be viewed on ZDF.

Alexander met with Chrupalla on the stairs of a Bundestag building, asked the AfD politician, among other things, what referendums are and what the youth word of the year "cringe" means (among young people or in social media a common description for being ashamed of others) or which German Musician recently released the album "Musketeers".

Regarding climate change, Chrupalla said that his party did not deny that there was climate change, but that humans had an influence on it, they doubted.
