In Germany, the party Alternative for Germany (AfD) took an unprecedented step by expelling Hamburg parliamentary member Robert Risch from its faction.
The reason cited was his participation in a conference organized for ultra-right forces held in Saint Petersburg.
According to reports, Risch attended the event organized by Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeev and ideologist Alexander Dugin, known for his anti-Western views.
Although the deputy did not publicly disclose his involvement and tried to keep it secret, his presence was discovered through journalistic investigation, raising questions about the party’s internal discipline and its stance on international alliances.
