Theo Müller Threatens Legal Action Over Campact Ads Alleging AfD Support

The dispute centers on whether his personal ties to AfD leader Alice Weidel amount to support.

Overview

  • Müller, via lawyer Christian Schertz, sent a cease‑and‑desist demanding Campact stop statements that he "supports the AfD" and warned he will go to court if they continue.
  • He reiterates he is not an AfD member, has never donated to or supported the party, and notes long‑standing CSU membership.
  • Campact refuses to retract the message and says the campaign will continue unless Müller explicitly distances himself from the AfD.
  • The campaign’s scale includes roughly 2.2 million stickers, about 28,000 posters in 14 cities, and building projections such as near Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.
  • Campact cites Müller's acknowledged friendship and meetings with Weidel and past interview remarks as its basis, while Müller argues personal acquaintance does not equal political or financial backing.
