"Six candidates for Germany’s AfD die before election
Voters in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, will elect their local authorities next weekend
The radical right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has cried foul after six of its candidates died in the run-up to municipal elections.

While there is no indication that any of the deaths were suspicious, some of the party’s more prominent MPs have suggested that dark forces may have been at play.

Next weekend voters in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, will elect their local authorities. The AfD has traditionally been quite weak in the region, where it won a total of only 5 per cent of the vote five years ago."

Hmm. The timing seems very suspicious. The Left keeps calling AfD Nazis.

"Radical Right-Wing".....That's EU code for sane/normal.

You know the leftists want all right-leaning people dead so I'd not be surprised a bit that the leftists are bumping them off.

Can you list their causes of death?

Can you list their causes of death?

Apparently the causes of death are "unexpectedly" and "unfortunate".


"Candidates Ralph Lange, 66, Wolfgang Klinger, 71, Stefan Berendes, 59, and Wolfgang Seitz, 59, are the first four who died within two weeks of each other.

The City of Rheinberg announced Seitz's death on August 21, before the City of Schwerte said on August 26 that Klinger had died "unexpectedly" on August 19. The next day, the City of Blomberg announced "the unfortunate death" of Lange on August 27 and, on August 28, the City of Bad Lippspringe said Berendes "died unexpectedly."

On Tuesday, Gottschalk named René Herford and Patrick Tietze as the reserve candidates who died.

Newsweek has contacted each of these local authorities to ask for more details on specific dates and causes of deaths.

Even though police have said that they do not suspect foul play, the deaths have fueled speculation online, including from professor Stefan Homburg, a retired Germany economist who was the director of the Institute of Public Finance at Leibniz University Hannover until 2021.

He was commenting on the initial four who died when he said in a post on X on August 29 that the cluster of deaths is "statistically almost impossible.""

Six far-right German AfD candidates die days before election

The deaths occurred just days before the North Rhine-Westphalia state elections in Germany this month.

It's strange that in Navalny's case, which happened in a foreign country, there was a scandal in Germany. People talked about it for months. At least two books were published in german.
And here there are seven victims from one party and another six candidates from ten parties, and the elections are coming up and the police found nothing unusual in the deaths of politicians ...
