Overview
- Campact says its NoAfD-Fonds has exceeded €2.5 million from more than 60,000 donors and will allocate the money equally between its own national campaign actions and local initiatives.
- About 40 projects are already receiving support for democracy education in schools, poster drives, demonstrations and rural cultural events to reach voters outside big cities.
- Allied organizations have booked hundreds of poster sites, produced nearly a million printed materials and organised concert and mobilisation plans to increase public visibility for pro-democracy messages.
- Campact frames the fundraising as a counterweight to the AfD’s own stated campaign budget of about €1.5 million in Sachsen-Anhalt while polls show the AfD with roughly 41% support there and 36% in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
- Organisers say the effort aims to strengthen local outreach where AfD support is high and could influence turnout and public visibility in ways that shape post-election coalition options.
