Overview
- AfD Hessen, following Thursday reporting by Frankfurter Rundschau, said it will examine possible consequences and asked treasurer Thomas Janeczek to file a written statement within a week.
- Janeczek was elected treasurer to the new Generation Deutschland Hesse board at its founding meeting in Fulda in late March.
- A photo held by Frankfurter Rundschau shows him at a July 20, 2024 Identitäre Bewegung march in Vienna, and Rhein-Main Rechtsaußen reports he joined an Aktion 451 meet-up in Frankfurt in early March.
- The Identitäre Bewegung appears on the party’s nationwide incompatibility list, which means formal ties can trigger disciplinary steps under party rules.
- As an official party branch rather than the now-dissolved Junge Alternative, Generation Deutschland ties bind the party directly, and Hesse chair Nafiur Rahman said the new group will be judged by what it does.
